how do u find affordable dental in US?

seems like its insanely overpriced even if you have insurance. if you go to one of those cheaper dental offices, would they use regular blades and scrapers instead of the new advanced ones that use water vibration (forgt what its called) ? or does it vary state to state?

Deep cleaning? What is that?

My dentist scraps, flosses, polishes for $55 and I get a goodie bag with a bunch of dental stuff

My dental is covered 90% with my wife's work. She has nice benefits. I'm always horrified when I check the bill and think of how much it would cost if I didn't have insurance. No wonder those without benefits have rotting teeth falling out of their mouths. How are you supposed to pay for that schit?

I would just look at the person's last name to take a guess on how ethical they are

Seems certain people are always pulling scams to take money from you

Helps to recognize patterns

just tell them you're self pay. it's waaaay cheaper than what they bill to insurance companies (that whole thing is a racket). it should be like $75 or something to get your teeth cleaned. i had x-rays, cleaning, and had 1 cavity from way back that I got filled. it was like $250 for all of that.

A few dental offices have laid out dental membership savings plans. Ordinarily, these plans charge you a fixed dollar sum on a yearly premise and cover specific practices at no extra charge. Dr. Smile - El Segundo is one of the best affordable, CA, USA

I LARP as an insurance agent on the weekends and let me tell you, it's all a racket. Dental coverage is extremely poor on average.

When I did not have insurance I had a dentist that I went to and I let him know in person I would pay cash/no receipt
He would charge me like 40%
They do not need to negotiated or chase money from the insurance companies
I still go to him but with insurance now

it's better off getting a ppo. it's still expensive but almost as cheap as if you have insurance.

Ya most of it is a rip off I have good insurance with dental and they still always try to upswell me. Oh you have a chipped tooth you’re going to need to get 4 Vaneers and insurance won’t cover it. If you don’t get a deep cleaning you’re going to get gum disease. Oh it will take 3 months to see if your insurance covers that. Was so annoying last time I went. Had them cancel all my appointments insurance wouldn’t cover

Mexico. SRS. Know so many people that go own there that spend a 1/4 of what it is here, and have far less problems.

Not true, the hygienist even told me after my regular cleaning that my teeth look good and she doesn’t think I need one. They just tell everyone they should get a deep cleaning.

Go to in network dentists. Look them up before going.

If you ask the dentist if they take your insurance and they say yes, it doesnt mean they are in your network. Call the number on your card or look it up on the insurances website.

This can make a huge difference.
