Does anyone know where I can find individual dental insurance? Not the Dental discount but Insurance.?

I live in Ohio, so obviously it needs to cover us here, I've searched google and there are so many and most are regular health, we have that, we need really good dental with low copays. Primarily one that has pediatric dentists. Thanks for the help!
--------------------
Think about this. Dental insurance really is not "insurance" in the same way that life insurance or even other kinds of health insurance is an " insurance". 1. Insurance companies are smart. 2. They will not lose money on you. Dental "insurance" is prepaid dental ( managed) care. The company has to take your money, pay themselves a salary, pay a profit to their investors and then with what is left, they will help you pay for some of your dental care. If you have a large group of individuals such as a large company, the insurance company can give you more benefits because their costs are spread over more clients and some of the clients will not need as much care as some of the others and then the ones that have a higher need can get more benefits than they have individually paid in. That is because of the group. The group will still pay in more than they get as a benefit but an individual can get more if he needs it. If you go out on your own, you will have a very, very tough time getting a "good deal" for you because insurance companies know that an individual can time his dental care for some of the more expensive procedures. They know and anticipate that a lone person will sign up for insurance, get a lot of crowns bridges, dentures etc done then drop the insurance so that they do not have to pay premiums after they are brought up to health. So the best answer is to get a job that has good benefits in health care as part of a system. State jobs are normally excellent for dental care. The feds are good for general health care but their dental is thought to be less than ideal by many people. Look it up and decide for yourself.

Is there a dental program that helps people with no insurance or medicaid?

I badly need to see a dentist for a broken tooth, but I do not have insurance, and do not qualify for medicaid. Does anyone know where I can get dental help? It's quite urgent! Thanks!
--------------------
Contact your local or state dental association and and see if there are any dentists who provide free or reduced cost care for low-income, disabled or senior patients. Call your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale. Your local United Way may also be aware of such a clinic. In some areas, you can reach them now by dialing 2-1-1 for "non-emergency information." Go to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs. If you are a senior citizen, call your local Area Agency on Aging or Office on Aging. If you can not find a listing in your local phone book on the "County Government" pages (usually marked with blue borders), call toll-free 1-800-677-1116 to find how to contact the Area Agency on Aging serving you. Check http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you. Check http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you. Check http://www.nfdh.org/DDS.html to see if your state has a "Donated Dental Services" program. D.D.S. is designed to locate dentists who will give free care to patients who are financially compromised due to medical problems. This is a process that will take a couple of months to get your information and then arrange for someone to see you. Not all states have D.D.S. programs.

Need dental work but low income and no insurance?

I was just wondering if anyone knows how I can get dental work (filling in cavity, other minor stuff like that) for free. I can't get insurance through the state and I don't have money to pay for it. The local health dept offer free dental care but you have to be under 21 and I am 22...Is there ANYTHING I can do or do I just have to live with it?? Thanks in advance!

If you have a dental school near you call them. They work on teeth free.

Dental v.s Medical Insurance for Wisdom Teeth Extraction?

I have an appt. to get two more wisdom teeth surgically removed. I had one removed at the end of last year. Since I was out of dental insurance (Delta) money, medical insurance (medica) covered 80%, and paid the surgeon considerably less than what the initial bill was which made my 20% less which was nice. I have not used any dental insurance money this year, so I am concerned that the surgeon will bill Delta first and I will get stuck with bigger bill since it seems like dental insurance isn't as tough as medical ins. is on restricting what a surgeon can bill a patient. Anyone have experience on this? Should I delay extraction to the end of the year given their is not immediate problem so that I have some dental money left for cleanings and other issues?
--------------------
I didn't even finish reading and I can tell you already....use you're medical insurance for this. Most patients do if at all possible. You need to save your dental for other uses like needing a crown or fillings and cleanings. Don't use up that "small amount" that dental allots you each year (as if that's enough to cover anything really) when you can let medical pick up on it. Hope I've been of some help and you can always talk to the insurance rep at the surgeons office, she will guide you in the right direction and she knows how to word it to the insurance co. We all know it's better to use the medical and save that precious dental insurance for dental treatment. Good luck with your surgery!

mini dental implant vs insurance?

I would like to get mini dental implants to hold my bottom denture in place, but dental insurance does not cover it. I think medical should cover some of it, because you cannot eat or chew food properly which causes stomach problems. Is there any help out there for us?

Probably not.

I recently lost my job. I would like a separate dental insurance plan besides my basic health insurance. I wonder if anyone else is feeling the pain like me. Any suggestions?

Most insurance companies wont cover that. Very affordable - i am still in shock sometimes. Please check it out - especially in these hard times. http://www.dentalplans.com/afftracker.as…

Is there such a thing as affordable health and dental insurance for someone that is 60 years old?

And in pretty good health? What company(ies) would you recommend. I live in Omaha, Nebraska United States. I currently pay $330 a month for PPO BCBS a month and it is killing me! Thanks
--------------------
Is your income low enough to qualify for Medicaid? Or can your health hold out for Medicare at age 65? You can get health insurance but to keep it low you'll either need high deductibles or minimum coverage. If your concern is having high hospital bills, you can protect against that. If you think you'll need more coverage for regular doctor visits, your costs will be higher. Is it possible that you can just go to the medical clinics that charge around $60-$80 for a specific problem?

does dental insurance usually cover "laughing gas" or is it expensive otherwise?

My dad just put me on his dental and i need to call to figure out what kind of coverage it is, but do most insurances cover laughing gas? If not, is it usually pricey? I'm a really nervous patient and i get freaked out even thinking about going. Does the gas work well for you? What does it feel like? Also, the dentist i'm looking at going to also offers the possibility of a one time prescription dose of an anti anxiety med. Would that be a better route? I have prescription coverage so that won't be expensive. thanks a bunch.

delta dental premier is a good plan, but you have to get it through work. it is only a couple dollars a week out of your check, and it doesn't cost your employer much either, so maybe it is something you could get them to consider.

What Dental insurance should I choose? ?

Hi all, I have been thinking for some time now about buying dental insurance, but cant decide on the right provider. I need to be covered for just the UK and found the website http://www.insuremysmile.co.uk/ and wondered what people thought of the way its compare products. Is it any good?
--------------------
I have no idea...most dental insurances are worth the paper they are written on. You will pay to much and will not have good coverage at all. Save $20.00-$30.00 per month in a small savings account and you will have plenty to pay for your preventive care. Then you shouldn't need major work which is expensive. Good luck

Find a local college or university with a dental school. They usually have clinics that offer dental services at greatly reduced rates.
