Hi everyone!
I'm wondering if anyone here is familiar with dental plans. It's not dental insurance, but it's basically a discount plan. My younger brother had a cavity that broke his tooth, and it's bothering him a lot now. He's a year and a half younger than me, so he's 20 right now. And well, I've always babied him for some reason, lol. Well he works fast food and is planning on going back to college soon, so he doesn't have health insurance or dental. I told him I'd help him out and would cover what I can. I just want him to get to a dentist and get it taken care of before he gets a bad infection, it already may be infected. i was looking online and saw quite a few dental plans, like dental select, ameriplan, aetna access, just to name a few. It's a monthly fee of between 10-20 dollars and you can save between 50-80 percent on dental procedures.
Here's a sample chart one of them has:
Procedure \tAverage Fee \tMember Fee \tYou Save!
Filling - 1 Surface (silver) \t$ 116.00 \t$ 43.00 \t$ 73.00
Child Cleaning \t$ 50.00 \t$ 30.00 \t$ 20.00
Adult Cleaning \t$ 73.00 \t$ 42.00 \t$ 31.00
Routine Checkup \t$ 37.00 \t$ 15.00 \t$ 22.00
Molar Root Canal \t$ 963.00 \t$ 380.00 \t$ 583.00
Crown - Porcelain \t$ 932.00 \t$ 482.00 \t$ 450.00
Has anyone used something like this. Is it worth it? I really want to be able to pay to get his tooth fixed. Thanks!
