Looking for a dental plan on the internet used to be very difficult. My kids are looking forward to having straight teeth. 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. 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. These discount plans are great because they provide savings on everything from Braces, Gum surgery, Endodontics, and child dentistry. 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. If you have pre-existing conditions you are still accepts, all of your dental work will be discounted from the dentist's normal charges. This is a great benefit and there are generally no hassells associated with these plans. 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. |
