Out of pocket dentist

September 5th, 2007 at 04:00 pm

We no longer have dental, baring major surgery for the tots, the cost was much greater than paying out of pocket, so I called around and found the cheapest price.

I was slightly surprised to find the place advertised as 'low cost so all kids can get care' cost more than the family dentist.

We of course picked cheap (and happens to be a friends dentist, so comes recommended) We also opted only to take the oldest, GMC. Somehow we just can't see taking a 1 year old and a 3 year old to the dentist yet..though if the coverage was low we might, at 160 per visit, we aren't. (adults are 180... no we don't have apointments)

GMC on the other hand is getting up on the age of losing teeth, and besides it fills a cub scout elective Smile

Off to pack food for the drive.

    I'm not sure if there is one where you are, but when my parents didn't have dental insurance, we went to CoastDental. It's a chain. They had a $75 a year dental plan and you'd get discounted rates on your dental visits. It really helped us out a lot!

    I recently signed up for Aetna Dental Access. Not an insurance plan but a discount plan - save at least 30 - 40% on most services and it only cost me $89.00 for my whole family to be covered for 15 months. One of the office staff at my dentist's office recommended it after my DH got his new job which had no dental plan. Of course, not all dentists participate so you must check first.
