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. Most dentists do participate and I was shock to find my dentist participated in several of the plans in my area. This is a great benefit and there are generally no hassells associated with these plans. Looking for a dental plan on the internet used to be very difficult. 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. 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. I urge you to investigate discount plans because they are the wave of the future when it comes to saving money at the dentist. I was also able to switch plans once to a plan with lower fees on the root canal I needed. 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. These discount plans are great because they provide savings on everything from Braces, Gum surgery, Endodontics, and child dentistry. |
