This is more of a personal blog needing some help.

My husband is military but they do not cover dental, 2 of my fillings fell out and I am in need of 4 total. I go to school and work 2 jobs starting a third small job this summer. I am paying off  a plane ticket home; my entire family expected me to come home or it would seem as though I didn't care anymore. I owe over 1000 for that and with the college bills and my part of the other bills im at loss as to wear to find the money to get my teeth fixed.

My questions are:

Does anyone know of a dental coverage plan for students? Do the college's have any insurance like that? I don't even know where to begin the research. Any help would be nice :O)  Thanks

Unless you are flying out of the country, the plane ticket should cost that much. Maybe you need to shop for better prices all around (not just the plane ticket), and you'd probably come out better, instead of having to work all of those jobs.
And if they are in the united states, and so are you....then you can easily jump on the gray hound bus for a little over 200 dollars for a roundtrip, and if 7 days in advance, even cheaper.

If you google college dental insurance, you should be able to find several options ranging from discount plans to actual insurance. You can also look up quotes on places like insurancefinder.com and others of that ilk.

Are you sure you’re with the right medical plan? I was a military wife for awhile and with the plan we had I was covered for dental, actually, I even got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled for free under the insurance. What they didn’t cover was issues to do with the eyes like getting new glasses or contacts. I’m not sure what branch your husband is in, my ex is in the Air Force and we were over seas, so that might have something to do with it. So, maybe you should check if you’re in the right medical plan.
