Be cautious about buying a so-called "dental discount plan," often mentioned on Yahoo!, since they also have restrictive lists and they really are not dental insurance at all. Just be careful and understand what you are buying. There is one plan that is often mentioned here that shows NO participating general dentists in my town of 50,000 people. If you took this plan, you'd have to drive about 15 miles to the closest participating dentist.
Discount plans are marketted to dentists as a way to bring in new patients. They are giving away an exam and x-ray like Midas gives away a free brake inspection.
I am obviously not a fan of the discount plans, but if you check the list of providers first and then call the office that you are interested in to verify that they are indeed accepting that discount plan and it's a dentist that you know about and like, maybe you could try it for a year. Be careful is all I can say.
What do dentists think of discount plans versus dental insurance?
