What I am wanting to understand is if say I buy a typical dental insurance plan what would I get out of it?  I see some that say there is no charge for X-rays and cleaning but is that really all I get out off it.   I do not see how much basic filling cost?

As far as crown and extractions I see that the dental insurance plan make you have long term waiting periods before they will even start to cover those type of dental services.

Seems to me that insurance plans offer a free cleaning as if it is something really good but you have to hope you do not need anything else for a year.  Please advise why that is the case.  And if there is any thing that would not work this way.

My  teenage son will be needing braces.  I need to get a dental plan in place now in case it has waiting periods.   My dentist  told us that he should get braces with in the next year or two for sure.   I want to get the best dental plan in New York for braces.  One that is hopefully low cost so we can afford to get it.   Please advise.

I haven’t been to the dentist since I was last on my parents dental insurance plan over six years ago.  I know I need some major dental work.  I am not in pain or anything I just know that my teeth are not in good shape.

I am not sure if I should get a dental insurance plan with its waiting period and yearly max and just have the dental work done a little at a time.  Or if I would be better off getting  a dental discount plan for the dental saving so that I can have my dental work done all at once.  Which way in the long run would be cheaper?

Choosing between a dental discount plan and dental insurance which one offers you better cost for dental services render.   I am looking for a dental plan that will offer me the most coverages without all the limitations and exclusions every time you turn around.

I do not want to buy dental insurance or a plan and find out they do not cover what the dentist is telling me I need.  So what is the best to get?  Discount dental or Insurance.

Right now my parents are on a very fixed income. They do not have dental insurance and can not afford to get a family dental plan that is going to be more then $50.00 a month. My dad is always working to pay the bills so I do not see him much.  Even though he works hard he can not afford $120 or more a month for dental insurance.

I am 17 and do work a part time I can help pay for a low cost dental plan.  My parent may still not go to the dentist but I would like to so I hoping to find a plan that will work for all of us and be very affordable.

About a  little over a year ago I picked up the Careington dental plan for my daughter so she can have braces that our current dental would not cover.   I have been happy with the saving I was getting since it was sure better then nothing at all.

However  my husband job is making us move over 100 miles away from the dental office she goes to for her braces.  I am not sure if I want to be doing that type of driving every month.

My daughter  still has her braces and they will not be done in time before the move since she needs them for another year.  Will I still be able to get my 20% discount under the plan if I change to a different  dentist under the plan.

I just got a dental insurance plan about two months ago.  I got my ID cards in the mail and I went in for my first dental appointment in the past three years.  I was really happy that I was going to finally have my teeth looked at.

Well I was told for the most part I have really strong teeth but since I have not been to the dentist is a long time I have the starting of gingivitis.   So I will be needed deep cleaning.  Which I also found out that my dental insurance plan I got will not cover me for.   That I have a year waiting period I did not know about for major dental work.

Now I have to pay out of pocket for my dental services and not sure if it is even worth keeping a dental plan that is going to make me wait a year for major dental work.

I have gingivitis and having the needed gum treatment without dental insurance is going to cost me over 700.   I really need help!  I am on a low income right now and can not afford to pay that much money for the dental care I need.  However I still worry about not doing anything since the dentist told me I can loose my teeth if I do nothing at all.

I live in Florida and I had a root canal done on one of my bottom molars.  The root canal treatment was done about a month ago.  The dentist put a temporary crown on that tooth and i was to come back in for my permanent crown latter on in the being of next month.

My temporary crown had fallen off like three days latter and since I was going back into the dentist next month I really did not do anything about it.   I was careful about what I eat but now I notice that there seem to be a hole in that tooth that was not there before.  I really think I may have broken the tooth.  My appoint is in three more days for the new crown to be put on.  What will happen now?  Can I still have my new crown put on ?

I was told my six year old son needs to have two filling done on some baby teeth.  He has an appointment in a week from now.  I never had any cavities so no filling work done.  I am not sure if having filling will hurt.   I worried over this because I do not want my son to be scared of going to the dentist if they hurt him.

I have thist one front tooth that is black on the inside.  It never hurts me or anything I just do not like the way it looks.  I have it like that for years I just do not have any dental insurance and very little extra money.

So I have been saving up over the years a little at a time and have a few hundred to help me fix my tooth.  Can I get dental insurance knowing I need this work done?  Could use all the help I can since I am not sure what needs to be done to fix the tooth.

I am a diabetic and because of that I have very bad teeth and gums.  I have to go to the dentist all the time to stay on top of any dental issues so that I can do my best to keep my teeth.

Because of this my dental cost are getting very expensive and I really need a plan that will not limit me on my dental care.  If I need more then $1000 of dental work in one year then that’s what I need. With my diabetes I can not afford to wait out for my policy terms to roll over.   Are there dental plans that will not limit the amount of work I may need done?

My daughter had a bad experance with a dental office when she was eight.  The dentist was very rude and had hurt her serval times when she was getting a filling done.  I can understand to some degree why she has fears now.

However I changed dental office after that and we have this very caring dentist.  She is so nice.  However just taking my daughter to the dentist for a cleaning make her so upset and she crying the whole time.  I hate that she is like this now because of a prior dentist.  Is there anything I can do to make her get over her fears?

I do not want her to stop going to the dentist as soon she an adult and I can no longer force her to go.   Advise please

I am 16 and have teeth were you can see that are brown. I try brushing three times a day but it does not help.  When I was younger around 10 I did not really brush much I know but my mom will not do anything about my teeth now.

Even though I have pain sometime she says she spend a lot of money on my teeth when she did not have it to really spend and she not spending any more since she says I am not take care of them.  But I am and I not sure how to get her to take me to the dentist.

Is there anything I can do to make my teeth look better.  At least until I am 18 and can do what I want.

My boyfriend teeth are not so hot.  He really should see a dentist but does not have dental insurance.  He said if he had dental insurance he would go to the dentist to start fixing up is teeth.  So can I buy online one of your plan for him so that I can get him to fix his teeth?  I hate that his teeth look so bad and he does nothing about them.

All of my teeth are yellow.  I hate them.  My friend make fun of me over my teeth being yellow.  Saying that I do not brush but I do.  I do not even have any cavities.  Just yellow looking teeth.  My parents will not pay for whitening treatments at a dentist so I looking for some home treatments.  Please advise need help.

I need some dental care.  I am 17 and have not seen a dentist in over five years.  My mom says it because we do not have the money.  I know we are low income but should there not be some place I can go to get dental care so my teeth do not fall out?

Is there any dental insurance plans a minor can get that is low in cost.  Heck I pay for it myself.  I work a part time job so I can aford arount 20 – 25 a month if I could get some for myself.  Any ideas where to search.

I have metal braces on right now and I have at least a year more to go with them on.  My teeth are not as white as they use to be before getting the braces put on for an overbite.  Can I whiten my teeth with braces or will the whiting strips mess up the metal braces?

Right now I have dental insurance with my job.  And although since I am getting though my job it does not cost me much I am tired of dealing with claims.  The dentist I go to makes me pay for the dental services in full.

Where then they fill out the claim form for me but I left to dealing with it.  I sometimes have to wait over a month just to get my refund back.  Sometimes I really need dental work done that I do not have done just because I can not afford to pay the dentist for the complete billing. Is there any insurance plans where I not left doing this all the time?
