This is a great benefit and there are generally no hassells associated with these plans. 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. 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. Steps are being taken to correct this issue and soon there should be quality providers in every area of America. 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. The provider list was very comprehensive in my area and there were providers within 3 miles of my house and work. 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. My kids are looking forward to having straight teeth. |
