The provider list was very comprehensive in my area and there were providers within 3 miles of my house and work.

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

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.

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.

If seems that if you do not have a traditional insurance plan through your employer or work, you just simple do not have any type of coverage and you are stuck paying full price.

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.

My kids will be getting braces and we look forward to saving 20% on the entire cost of orthodontic treatment.

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.

This really added up to significant savings for me and over the course of a year saved my family $680.00 which more than covered the annual enrollment fee.
