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 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 highly recommend these discount dental programs because they really do help you to save money on everything from cosmetic dentistry, laser dentistry, whitening, fillings, wisdon teeth extractions, oral surgery, braces, gum surgery, and just about every other dental procedure.

Without these plans, you are stuck paying ridiculous amount of money every time you visit regardless of what you are having done.

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.

Most dentists do participate and I was shock to find my dentist participated in several of the plans in my area.

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.

Now finding a dental plans for you and your family is quite easy and there are multiple options availalbe in your area.

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.

My kids will be getting braces and we look forward to saving 20% on the entire cost of orthodontic treatment.
