I Have a broken tooth, Need a low cost dental insurance plan
Yesterday I cracked my tooth. No part of the tooth broke off but I can see a crack line on the tooth that was not there before. My tooth does not hurt me but I want to have it taken care of ASAP so that it does not brake before seeing a dentist.
My worry is that I do not have dental insurance. Before now I really did not need it since I would just pay my dentist for a cleaning and be done with it. I was told by my friend that I may need a dental crown so that my tooth does not brake a part. I know crown are costly so I would like a low cost dental plan that can at least save me 50 percent or more off the cost of getting a crown. Where would I find a dental insurance that will help me with this need.

There is a good chance that you will be needing a crown for your cracked tooth. First do not go to the dentist without getting the dental insurance or plan in place. That means being extra careful of what you are eating. So as to not do further damage to your tooth.
I would suggest looking at either and HMO dental plan or a dental discount plan since general they both are plan types that normally do not have waiting periods.

I would also advise you getting an dental insurance plan in force so that you can have some help with the cost of the crown you more then likely will need.
You will want to stay away from PPO insurance plans or dental insurance plan that yet you choice any dentist and have no network. They may sound good. But for your current needs they will normally have long term waiting periods that will not help you with getting a crown.
