I tried to get a traditional individual dental insurance and I was running up against brick walls with the sign-up process and I was told I’d likely have to wait a year to get the plan activated.

These discount plans are great because they provide savings on everything from Braces, Gum surgery, Endodontics, and child dentistry.

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.

Saving anything at a specialist is better than paying full-price I always say.

If you have pre-existing conditions you are still accepts, all of your dental work will be discounted from the dentist's normal charges.

Without these plans, you are stuck paying ridiculous amount of money every time you visit regardless of what you are having done.

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.

Comparing the various dental plans in my area was really easy when I could look at them side to side and really see the differences in pricing for different procedures.
