What do dentists and hygienists think of a patient who doesn't have dental insurance?

I got a filling done today, and maybe it was just the dental practice I go to, but I felt like everyone was smirking or looking down on me since I don't have dental insurance. I'm in grad school full time & work part time, so I don't have dental insurance, but I paid the bill in full & everything today. Everytime I was asked about insurance & I said I don't have any, I felt like the girls in the office were shooting looks at each other.
--------------------
I worked will patients who didn't have ins. and not all are like you. I would say 60% of people with or without ins. do not pay there balance. I am sure they were showing their concern more than they should have. I am sure after they see that your going to pay they will show their appreciation for a patient like you.

Can I purchase dental insurance and add my daughter even if she has dental coverage through my husband's work?

My work is finally offering dental insurance and I would like to add my daughter, even though she already has dental with my husband. She is already showing the signs of bad teeth (a lovely genetic gift from my side of the family lol!) and I am thinking that if she is double-covered then we may save some money that way. However, I'm not sure how or if this will work. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!!
--------------------
what would be the point? - one of you would be paying for nothing - you can only use one insurance for any one visit/procedure - you don't get double coverage - NEVER allowed - dentist can only send his bill to ONE insurance company

Will the teeth of poor Californians become worse now that they have no dental insurance?

At least Europeans have dental insurance, and you say their teeth is bad.

How does dental insurance work?

I currently have Cigna's dental insurance and I went to the dentist a couple weeks ago and got diagnosed with Periodontal disease. the treatment is almost 700 with insurance and I was wondering would it be ok to try and find a dentist that is cheaper in this? I am getting some work done at this dentist already such as fillings and I already got a tooth pulled. I just don't want to, if I don't have to, pay 700 out of pocket! Would it be ok to try to find a periodontist that offers cheaper services?

healthquotes.awardspace.info - I switched to this health insurance from them, cause it gives much cheaper rates for m?.

Do you have to wait before you can use your new dental insurance?

If you get a new dental insurance policy, do they make you wait for a certain period of time before you can get dental surgery (wisdom tooth extraction)? Can you get the policy and then get the extraction done soon after?
--------------------
It depends on the policy of the health insurances, it could be up to 30+ days. Call the number at the back of the paper, if you want to know.
