- Dental ExaminationIt is to your benefit to know more about your own dental plan than to expect a dentist office to master it. We have to deal with many and you only have to deal with your own that your employer or you have purchased for yourself. Ultimately, you are responsible for your own fees, whether or not the insurance will cover their portion for the treatment you have consented to have done. It is not in the insurance’s interest that you receive the best dental care. It is to the insurance’s benefit that you do not have any treatment done at all. To think that you should have insurance dictate what type of work you can have is faulty thinking that will not lead to the best oral health. Think of insurance benefit as helping with your BASIC dental needs. Many people need more than just a few fillings and two exams and cleanings per year. Consider changing your insurance benefit by negotiating with your employer or the one who purchased the insurance plan, if your dental need is not met by the insurance.
