Millions of people do not have dental insurance or have a dental
policy that is extremely limited. As a result, millions of people end up spending
a lot of money on dental services. As one of the millions without dental insurance
I often wonder if I am overpaying for my families dental services. I am very
happy with our family dentist, but how do I know if I am being overcharged for being
a cash paying patient? If you are like me and you don’t have dental
insurance ---how do you find the best value for cleanings, crowns, implants, fillings,
root canals, and whitening treatments?
About 10 million Americans have lost their dental insurance in the last few years
and in 2009 only fifty-four percent of people had some form of dental benefit.
