is soft tissue graft covered by dental insurance?

---

I have gum recession that looks pretty bad and believe I need soft tissue graft. I read it costs about $1000 per one area but is it with the insurance coverage or 100% out of pocket?

I also have to wait until Jun 30, 2010, for the insurance to cover my treatments (I maxed out last year's benefit), and I wonder if soft tissue graft is urgent thing to get or I could wait for another 5 month if it would be covered by the insurance.
healthquotes.awardspace.info - my family have this health insurance. It is affordable and has good coverage for dental issues.  (+ info)

I have soft tissue damage in my knee about how long is the recovery period? I am currently on cruches.?

---

I have been on cruches for about 2 days, the doctor says not to walk for about 4 days and not return to sports for 1 week, i have tried walking and it seems to be fine, but running is the problem I had should i wait more then a week before returning to sports or how long is your suggested time of recovery. If you have had this injury could you please respond.
Usually takes at least 2 weeks. Sometimes as long as 2 or 3 months. You risk more severe damage if you return too quickly. ie turn a sprained ligament into a torn ligament.  (+ info)

Any exercises for soft tissue damage in wrist?

---

I hurt my wrist and hand by landing wrong from a bad fall and now my wrist and hand have soft tissue damage. It can be pretty painful waiting for it to heal but I can handle it. I'm in my early 20's and I don't think it should take long to heal but I want to help it along. Are there any exercises I can do to help speed my recovery? If you are a health professional, please add that in your answer.
The best thing you can do is to see a therapist who can tailor a rehab program for you specifically. Ideally, you should see a CHT - certified hand therapist.

I know you may be thinking "i don't want to trouble with that, it will get better on its own". You may be right, but if you want things to get better and stay better, then it is time to invest in your health here and get some help.

Good luck!  (+ info)

What Happens when you tear your "soft Tissue"?

---

When i was younger i hurt my arm in a football match, The doctor said i had tore the soft tissue in it. My arm is still very weak at times
What is the soft tissue and how long does it take to repair?
A soft tissue tear is just another name for a muscle tear or ligament tear (bone to muscle connector) or even a cartilage tear(muscle to muscle connector). All are "soft" tissues compared to a broken bone ("hard")
These can be very annoying because they can heal completely on their own, without surgery or become partially healed over time, and that depends on the extent of the injury and how the affected area is being used and or rested.
Some injuries like a dislocated shoulder very rarely heal completely, leaving some weakness in the joint and thus leave the possibility of dislocating it again. Kind of like a sprained ankle. Once you've severely sprained it, it's more likely to be the one you sprain again. Just wear a brace and support/protect it the best you can.
Good luck with your injury.  (+ info)

Do you purposefully tear away the soft tissue on the inside of your mouth?

---

A smooth inside of my mouth is a trigger to tear off the skin, I've been doing it for my entire life. Years ago, once I stopped for two years. Other than chewing gum 24/7 which I am now doing, are there other ways to stop this habit?
Hello, to be perfectly honest with you, you are describing someone who has issues with some area of emotional stress. Other symptoms are gritting, grinding and pressuring the teeth together. All to many people who have these issue don't realize they are stress related much less where the stress is being generated from. Stress is generated from issues with one or a combination of six areas, Marriage, Money, Employment, Health, Sex and Poor Self Esteem. It usually takes a professional counselor to help identify the area and provide advice as to how to deal with it. Good luck and I wish you well.  (+ info)

What's the difference between necrotizing fasciitis and necrotizing soft tissue infection?

---

I came upon the second one while researching and was wondering whether or not they are the same thing, but I'm having trouble finding information differentiating the two. Could anyone explain the differences if there are any?
They are almost the same. Necrotizing soft tissue infections refer to severe infections of the muscles, subcutaneous fat and fascia that are multifactorial in their microbial origin (which is to say that a number of both aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms contribute to the underlying etiology). Necrotizing fasciitis on the other hand is a type of necrotizing soft tissue infection that develops along the planes of the fascia and is caused by the Group A Streptococci (i.e. mostly the M1, M3 and M18 serotypes of Streptococcus pyogenes).

Therefore, necrotizing fasciitis is a type of soft tissue infection caused by a single organism. Another example in this category is myonecrosis, a soft tissue infection caused only by Clostridium perfringens.  (+ info)

My dog is diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma(cancer) what to do ?

My dog is diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma(cancer) what to do ?
my 13 or 14 years of age yellow lab is diagnosed with a soft tissue sarcoma appearing close to the dew claw on his left front hand. The suggested treatment is to give him 20 sessions of radiation therapy then attempt to remove the cancer via surgery ? Have you had similar experience. Please give me your opinion !
The Dalmatian 'Spree' pictured with me had a liposarcoma removed from her neck when she was 8 years old. That soft tissue tumor did not recur.
She died of a widespread malignancy last August at the age of 13. I think she had either breast carcinoma or a lymphoma at the end. Our vet thought it was breast cancer. It felt more like lymphoma to me - though I'm a human cancer specialist - not a dog oncologist. I never had Spree's tumors biopsied. There was no way I would put her through chemotherapy. I didn't like putting my human patients through chemotherapy - which is one reason I retired early.

It's up to you. If you have plenty of money and time to take your dog for 20 radiation treatments and then pay for surgery, your dog will probably tolerate this well. Dogs are tougher than people with surgeries. (We had dog surgery courses in med school.)
- - -
You might consider that your dog is at the end of the normal life span.
For Spreedog, I took care of her at home until she could not walk.
I carried her to the vet to be put down. Very difficult experience.
Spree had been at my side every day for 13 years.
Best of luck with this tough time.  (+ info)

How painful is it to have a soft tissue graft done in my mouth?.?
