How long has it been since you've been to a dentist? If you
aren't going at least once a year (as is recommended), why
aren't you?
You may be surprised to learn that more people avoid the
dentist for fear of the bill they'll get after going to a
dentist than fear the dental work itself. The reason is
that dental benefits insurance and dental HMOs have created
such a confusing array of deductibles, annual limits,
claims forms and services that are not covered, that the
average person is never quite sure how much of the cost of
dental treatment will be out-of-pocket. What you can be
sure of is that elective and cosmetic dental treatments are
not covered by dental benefits insurance. And it is highly
likely that the cost of seeing a specialist such as an
orthodontist (braces) or a periodontist (gums) will exceed
your annual limit.
What can you do? Are there any alternatives to standard
dental plans?
Fortunately, there are. Consumer driven dental plans are a
REAL alternative to big insurance companies and their fall
out. Put simply, consumer driven dental (CDD) plans provide
all varieties of dental care at a large discount. CDD is
not insurance. It is not Medicaid or Medicare. It is a
well-thought-out dental plan that enables everyone--man,
woman, child, over 60, under 5, with pre-existing dental
conditions or without--to get the dental care they need,
when they need it, at an affordable price. No surprises.
Whether you need braces or tooth whitening, root canal or
caps, a regular check up or treatment for gum disease, you
are "covered" with consumer driven dental plans. You are
covered, but not in the sense you may be accustomed.
Discount dental plans simply negotiate a fair price with
dentists across the nation to an amount that is affordable
to virtually anyone who is working for a living. There are
no claims forms to fill out afterward, and no confusing
bills that leave you wondering whether the bill was paid at
all. The only surprises you get are these-no forms to fill
out, no age limits, and no waiting periods. And the
discounts are significant-up to 80% off the dentist's
regular rates.
That's not all. If you need to compare prices, most
discount dental networks will give you their rates vs. an
insurance company's. Just ask.
So now there are no excuses, join a consumer discount
dental plan today, and go to the dentist. It won't hurt a
bit.
