I was also able to switch plans once to a plan with lower fees on the root canal I needed. But what I found was that looking online was be far the superior method of hunting down a good dentist in my area. When looking for a new provider, I found myself going through the yellow pages looking for someone near my house that I could start visiting. The provider list was very comprehensive in my area and there were providers within 3 miles of my house and work. They are all discount dental plans which means you save up to 60% on your dental care at their listing of participating providers in your area. These discount plans are great because they provide savings on everything from Braces, Gum surgery, Endodontics, and child dentistry. If you have pre-existing conditions you are still accepts, all of your dental work will be discounted from the dentist's normal charges. Looking for a dental plan on the internet used to be very difficult. Studies show that you should go to the dentist for an oral exam, cleaning, and bitewing x-ray every 6-months, although it may no be necessary to get x-rayed more than once per year. With the discount plan I bought, I was approved with 48 hours and I was seeing my dentist like 2 days after getting my membership. |
