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. 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 wanted a dentist that was affordable and of good quality. You only have one set of teeth and I didn’t want them negatively affected. I urge you to investigate discount plans because they are the wave of the future when it comes to saving money at the dentist. Unless you have a discount dental program which will allow you to save a percentage off what you would normally pay for your dental care services. Make sure you choose a plan that will let go to a dentist near your house or make need to choose a specialist in you need more advanced type of dental correction. Saving anything at a specialist is better than paying full-price I always say. My kids are looking forward to having straight teeth. Most dentists do participate and I was shock to find my dentist participated in several of the plans in my area. |
