Dental Insurance and Plan Options
Jason Raphael
Dental Health is an important topic that is often over-looked.
75% of Americans do not have dental insurance, and do not visit
a dentist regularly. Most dental problems are almost entirely
avoidable with preventive dentistry. This includes brushing your
teeth 3 times a day after meals, using dental floss, and
visiting a dentist every 8 months for a cleaning. However,
visiting the dentist can be cost prohibitive, and I will present
an option that makes sense economically.
Dental Insurance can be very expensive, as most companies do not
offer their employees a dental insurance plan. The average
family can not justify the out of pocket expense. More often
than not, buying dental insurance is like throwing your hard
earned money out the window.
Dental Plans are an affordable alternative. Almost all dental
plans pay for themselves after one or two dental visits. Here's
how they work. An individual pays a small one time fee to
receive a discount when they go to the dentist. Like insurance,
there are select dentists in the customer's area that offer the
discounts. These pre-defined discounts include services such as
cleaning, x-rays, and cavity fillings. Dental plans are a great
option for individuals or families that enjoy the security of
knowing that their dental services won't cost an arm or a leg.
Companies can also offer dental plans at a subsidized price
instead of Insurance.
