Most dentists do participate and I was shock to find my dentist participated in several of the plans in my area. But what I found was that looking online was be far the superior method of hunting down a good dentist in my area. 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. 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. I am going to tell all of my friends and family about these great plans and I understand they have a rewards program for free products and services from their company. 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. This is a great benefit and there are generally no hassells associated with these plans. My kids will be getting braces and we look forward to saving 20% on the entire cost of orthodontic treatment. 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. |
