"The Dental Care Advantage discount program provides members with savings of 20% to 55%* on most dental care services, including Orthodontics & Cosmetics." Is this true? or just a trap? Currently I’m looking for a dental insurance, I wanted to have my teeth exam/diagnose etc, then braces. What would be a reliable/suitable dental insurance/plan for an individual? Thanks.

Getting Braces tomorrow .
I am not sure what color!!
I have brown hair and hazel eyes. I want a pretty color. NOT WHITE, BLACK, GREY, CLEAR. something is fun!!
My ideas: Aqua, Pink&Green

but i for sure do NOT want purple. idk why haahhah

What color(s) should i get?? Tell me what color(s) you have/had/or planning to have.

i would like to get braces. i haven’t been to the dentist in so long, it’s embarrassing. i turn 20 next month, so i still might be eligible to receive free insurance maybe? i have no clue. i can’t really pay a lot though because i’m only working part time right now & i’m not in school. any advice would be useful. thank you.

I just went to a dentist a few weeks ago & I was miserable with him. I had the x-rays & the examination. I wanted my cavities filled.
He had zero personality so rather than go back, I just went to a new one today & scheduled an appt. for the morning. I explained that I have gone through & paid for the initial consultation with someone else. I will have to pay for another exam, but they are allowing me to bring my x-rays I have with me. Things is, I have no idea what this is going to cost me for 3 fillings. 0? 00? I just don’t know what to expect. Any help is appreciated.

who has the best health & dental insurance for a small business of less than 10 people?

I’m 18(19 next month), and a full time college student. I’ve never been to the doctors besides when I was a baby, and I’ve never been to the dentist(don’t worry, I get all my shots and meds from my aunt who is a nurse & my teeth are in good condition) but my wisdom teeth need to be taken out and it’d be nice to see a doctor every now and then.

But I have never had insurance, and I don’t think my part time job offers anything. How do I go about getting cheap health/dental insurance? I know nothing about it. Does it come together? Are the ones were you apply online scams? Thank you!

I work for a great company that provides health & dental insurance from the very first time you start the job. My boyfriend of three years that I live with, does not have any insurance & the company he works for, does not provide good ones, only health plans.

So, a long question short, can I add him to mine if we live in Broward County, State of Florida.

I am on the state health insurance (ahcccs) but they do not cover individuals over 21 for dental..

I am in dire need of a cleaning & some fillings but dont have the money to pay for these procedures..

How can I or what sites can I use to get dental insurance for low cost?

I’m 20 years old and I am in bad need of insurance. I really need dental insurance because I need a root canal and when I turned 18 and could no longer be on my mother’s insurance I had no choice but to not get the root canal. And I desperately need it done. Where can I go to find quality but affordable health & dental insurance for my age? I live in Alabama.

All 4 of my wisdom teeth are impacted - 1 is 2/3rds the way out, 1 is moving slightly and I’ve yet (knock on wood!) to have any issues with the other 2.

I was a member of Ameriplan a few years back but never had to use it because I was covered under BlueCross in which I am no longer covered under either.

Would it be best to re-register with the Ameriplan (25% discount) or an individual dental insurance (which would POSSIBLY be more beneficial depending on the coverage amount/deductible, etc.) for about the same $ monthly?

If you feel as though the individual dental insurance would be best, does anyone have any recommendations for coverage companies, etc.? Thanks!

ps- PLEASE don’t SPAM this with the Ameriplan links & false reviews!

what’s the different on dental health education for 0 to 5years old,5 to 12 years old,12 to 17,17-35,35-55,and 55 and above?
what’s the different between therapeutic communication & daily communication?

I work for a company that manufacutres dental products but ironically they do not offer dental coverage for my family. Is there a good affordable dental plan out there? My husband is in pain & we cannot afford a huge bill.

My boss is an insurance agent, and asked me to research this question. I thought Yahoo! Answers might be a good place to start eh?

He heard a lot of people grow their commissions revenue by buying/acquiring other’s book of business. He and I are looking mainly for

Health
Life
AD&D
LTD
STD
Dental
LTC

Preferably GROUP cases. Email me if you would, or some links to useful websites would be very much appreciated!

I live in Texas, I’m 26, homemaker. I need to see the dentist desperately and after calling around, I realize it’s going to get pretty expensive. I would also like to see an orthodontist & any other "general" benefits that I could get, I would definitely use. Any suggestions? I’m in pain!

My mother lives near the DFW area (SW of Fort Worth) and needs some teeth extracted & dentures, but she can’t afford the cost.

I am not certain how much I can help. (I am already giving her my old van for her to sell instead of selling it myself. But it is beaten up & won’t go for much)

Thank you

Just to check your teeth & clean them. (Including 2 xrays) bitewings. to check for cavities.

Need major dental work, & unable to find financing. Dental est. was aprox 3,000.

My fiancee desperately needs to have his top teeth extracted and get an upper denture.

Searching Yahoo Answers led me to information on the "Affordable Dentures" chain. One Yahoo answerer recounted a fine experience with his services. Another’s account was beyond horrible - reminisance of say, the Saw movies.

Has anyone had experience with the "Affordable Dentures" locations in Salisbury Maryland, Harrisburg Pennsylvania, or Winchester VA?

They charge extractions at: /simple or 0/complex. Their "Premium New Denture Wearer Package" (Immediate denture, ‘aftercare treatment plan,’ second denture and adjustments) for a top denture is 0.

How do these prices sound to those who have been there?

What criteria do insurance companies use to approve you for insurance benefits? I submitted an application for health and dental insurance & have poor credit so I’m wondering if this could be a reason I won’t get approved. My family was on Medicaid, but as soon as finances looked better we wanted to be on regular health insurance. I’m just curious what a person would do if they aren’t approved for insurance? I have two small kids that really need to be insured for obvious reasons, but also my son was born with a heart condition that was repaired, but he does require ongoing treatment. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I google it & I get so many discount plans pop up it’s insane. I just want a few to really read through. We have medical & vision…we just need dental.

i have a toothache and my gum is swollen, and it hurts so bad, but i don’t have a doctor. And on monday im going to see a doctor, but i don’t have no insurance until March 2010. But how much will it cost without insurance? && Can i be making pay men ts?

I have Assurant dental coverage began & go to Greenberg dental in Orlando, Florida.

The first few visits went fine and they used my coverage, but now they have handed me an invoice for almost ,000! When I asked why it was so high, I was told that they were not using my insurance for this. I asked why they weren’t using my insurance & I was told, "assurant doesn’t alway pay" & " the dentist is using a term for this treatment that isn’t covered by my insurance" I contacted Assurant, faxed the bill to them and was told that every procedure was covered & that they have never had an issue with payment.

The dentist office has been horrible. Assurant has called them twice for me to explain that I am covered and they still refuse to use my coverage. I am filing a grievance with Assurants help. But on Monday (11/27/06) I have an appointment! I must get this finished but they are telling me I must pay ,800 on monday to get treatment. who else can I contact? What do I do now?
Thanks for all the responses,

When I spoke with Assurant, I was told that they pay Greenberg Dental a, “Capitation “each month–a monthly sum, if clients come in or not–and because of this monthly payment, every person under the coverage of Assurant is given a specific set of co-pay prices for each dental treatment. So you see, the dentist office has already received payment for the services, so telling me that Assurant does not pay was either a lie told to me by the dental assistants or just a mistake made by them. Either way it was not true, and Assurant told me that "Greenberg Dental" is a franchise with which Assurant has a contract. I was told all of this by Assurant. I spent hours yesterday on the phone with them…
Thanks Corrin, but you see my insurance isn’t the type that you pay some and they pay some, I’m supposed to get a lowered rate for the services and the dentist office is already paid a monthly sum. The dentist has already received payment for November and since I am covered by Assurant, I should only have to pay the predetermined prices for each procedure.
Please keep the responses coming I really could use some help on this… I have to get this done Monday and I just want Greenberg dental to come to there senses and charge me the correct fees. But the dental assistants and receptionists seem unwilling to listen to anything Assurant or I have to say. Assurant was more than happy to proceed in an investigation of this but that will take some time… and I need this done on Monday… I can’t continue the way I am and also I will be going away on vacation next week, I can’t wait around… I need to speak to someone who can clear this up, someone that Greenberg will listen to. They are under contract with Assurant, and accepted their money… So they should treat me properly… well, perhaps I can contact the owner of Greenberg dental? It is a franchise, maybe if I speak to the corporate offices I can get somewhere?

Thanks again for all the answers, I really appreciate it!
