Well, I'm certainly giving it a go.Have a great Birthday and do nothing, but enjoy doing nothing.
Sounds like my Gob!I was having a little pain and decided to go to the dentist. Hurricane comes in and I have to reschedule. 3 weeks later, I am at a new dentist office. One tooth hurts and one starting to get sensitive. So they found one molar with a break on the root. One with and abscess and one molar that is cracked from the top down to the root. So I'm looking at an extraction in an hour. What fun. Two root canals. One filing the other dentist missed and several small cavities.and a deep cleaning . Total cost after insurance, $3700 +. Not to bad.just don't want to go back for the extraction. It can wait but the pain will get worse.

It's not the deductible. Most dental plans have a yearly maximum they will pay. Dental is not like medical. Mine is not bad. Preventative pays 100%, basic at 80% and major procedures at 50% . The yearly maximum is 2,000.00. my employer also pays the premium for medical and dental coverage. The big savings is from the pool discount. I got tired of messing around with the low end dentist office. I found out the my loose tooth she found last year was not from my old age. X-ray showed the root had broken off and shifted. How did she miss that. I was also shown the scanned image of a large cavity that was not bothering me yet. How long has that been there? I was told at lease a year. I was in the dentist office in March and no one told me. That is the second one they missed.$3,700? How much is your deductible?
If you yearly maximum is $2,000 how are you paying $3,700?It's not the deductible. Most dental plans have a yearly maximum they will pay. Dental is not like medical. Mine is not bad.

Next year I will qualify for tricare again, so I'll drop the company insurance. It will be like getting a raise.
Our company is small, so it's a one size fits all, take it or leave it. The medical is 0 deductible, with a low max, but the dental and vision are basic. About anything beyond the annual screening and cleaning is out of pocket.Mine offers several plans. Some expensive, some middle, and some 100% company paid (you have no premium). Granted the 100% company paid is a very high deductible plan. Being that I have two boys I did not take that one. lol
That not a good. Does it cover any major services? There is basically preventative, basic, major services and braces. I have not work dental plans since the late 90s. It changed a lot since then.I have a broken molar, but my insurance doesn't cover crowns.
