whats the difference between a waiting period and elimination period in dental insurance? which is better?

If there is a difference?
--------------------
A waiting period is the days/weeks/months etc that you have to wait before the insurance will pay for proceedures. The elimination period is the time when the company can decide to either accept you as a customer or not. Basically, with an elimination period they are going to go through your previous records and decide if you would be too costly to insure. The waiting period is much better, because yes you have to wait, but you will eventually be covered.
