Let’s look at the difference between dental discount health plans and traditional dental health insurance. Dental insurance is not what it used to be 20 or 30 years ago. Premiums are now higher than ever for a decent policy and the traditional waiting periods that everyone must incur before they can be seen for any major problems make it almost not worth while. Basically, the insurance agent tells me that my premiums are going to be $50-$100 a month, I can see a dentist for a discount in the mean time for preventive maintenance items such as cleanings, x-rays, fluoride treatments, etc., however, my root canal will have to wait a year, and even then it won’t be covered 100%.

There are a lot of individuals and families now looking for low cost dental plans because of their inability to get them through their employer any longer. The truth is that it has just become too expensive for many employers, especially those with small businesses, to continue providing this benefit to their workers. This has driven many people into the private market for both health and dental care, and many people are shocked at what they’re finding available. As a matter of fact, there are many families that now must take the risk of going without dental care at all, because paying the premiums for health insurance out of pocket now is all that they can handle.
