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. Looking for a dental plan on the internet used to be very difficult. Steps are being taken to correct this issue and soon there should be quality providers in every area of America. If you have pre-existing conditions you are still accepts, all of your dental work will be discounted from the dentist's normal charges. Most dentists do participate and I was shock to find my dentist participated in several of the plans in my area. 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. 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. 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. |
