How good is your dental ins?

Ours is o.k., not the best in the world. We need something a little better my youngest can sure rack up some huge bills. And have to have it all up front too. Then the INS pays us back a small portion.

My dental insurance is halfway decent and I get a good discount because I sold my dentist his dog which in the long run has saved me more than he spent. :lol:

Well, why I didn't think of that, lol. With my luck I'd sell him a lemon. One that would go all Cujo on his butt or something. Not too good with dogs. And can't use pies, we had a lady kill a bunch folks off here one time with arsnic.

Our dental ins is o.k. I guess, I do want to look for a little bit better but I think it comes as part of our regular ins and I dont know how that works if you where to get extra.

I guess we are fortunate. Our dental ins pays 3000.00 towards braces! That's also per child! So after ins paid we only had to pay 1200.00 for my sons Orthodontic treatment.

I should actually find that out I guess. As a kid I know that my parents had great insurance, because they rarely had to pay anything out of pocket, even when I had braces. As an adult, so far I have not had to worry too much about dental bills. I guess I have some pretty good teeth and just need the regular cleaning.

I have great dental insurance, thank goodness. I have had a lot of work so I have had to have it. I get it through work.
