subject: Why My Dental Insurance Doesn't Cover What It Should [print this page]


You have dental insurance. You pay for this dental insurance monthly. You have never used it outside of standard cleaning within the last four years. You now need a tooth replaced and your dentist calls this cosmetic surgery. Your dentist wants to charge you over $6,000 for this. You are out of luck...

There is more and more fine print and there are more ways for your insurance company to weasel out of taking care of you. They may say you are beyond your coverage limit, the procedure is considered cosmetic, or a million other excuses.

This is not an uncommon situation among the world nowadays. Why are we are paying more and more for dental insurance while less and less is covered? Is it greed, is it just another example where the rich and powerful step over the hardworking middle class citizens? Maybe one, maybe both, maybe more...

No mater the reason, dental insurance is covering less than it did. With this new dilemma more and more people are going abroad to get their dental work done. The first few people were doing this out of necessity only to find out, it really is the only way to go. Why pay so much back home to have so little covered? It makes no sense.

Not only do these people get great dental work done, but they also get to experience a great vacation at the same time.

The idea of a Thailand Dental Holiday is getting more and more popular throughout the western world. There have been books written to teach you how to do this online and you can find blogs of people who have already done this.

When your dental insurance decides not to take care of you because of some fine print, remember that you have options.
