Saving Time With Same-Day Crowns

[sagasan]

Another issue with discount plans is availability of providers. You can find a participating dentist in most any city, but if you live in a rural area you may be forced to travel to the nearest town. In most cases you will save enough to make it worth your time, but it's not always convenient for Dentist Be Damned  some people, especially seniors. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than 100 million Americans are currently living without any form of affordable dental care coverage. That's nearly 1 out of every 3 Americans living without dental coverage. What makes this fact especially troubling is that a large number of findings that support a link between dental health and overall health. This means that seeing a dentist is now more important than ever.

So, what can individuals and families without dental insurance do to save significant money at the dentist? My recommendation is that you consider purchasing a discount dental plan. The National Association of Dental Plans(NADP) considers discount dental plans as a viable, cost-effective alternative to traditional dental insurance for individuals and families. In fact, they say on their website, "With an estimated 45 percent of Americans not having any type of dental coverage, and the dental insurance marketplace offering few, affordable dental products for individuals, discount plans are an attractive answer to the need to reduce consumer out-of-pocket costs and increase access to care..."

Discount dental plans are essentially, as the name implies, a membership card that you purchase from a company that has contracted with dentists to offer their services to you at significant discounts - often 10%-60% on most procedures. You simply purchase a plan for yourself and/or your family for a very affordable price - starting at $79.95 for individuals, and $99 for families. You can use this card to received discounts on most dental procedures with each dentist visit throughout the year. With a dental health plan comes plenty of perks besides just the affordable price. You'll never have to worry about the dreaded claims forms inherent with traditional dental insurance. Nor will you need to worry about unfair health restrictions. With a dental care plan there are none to worry about.
