Dental for Less, What is the point in having dental insurance.
Okay around two year ago I had to have two of my wisdom teeth removed. The dentist charged my dental insurance company at the time $3500 My plan covered 60 percent of that which I thought was good. So my cost was $1400 plus my $40 deductible.
So live goes on. Two weeks ago my friend had to also get two wisdom teeth removed. She lives on a low income and did not have dental insurance like I did. So she had to pay in cash. The dentist only charged $750.00 per tooth costing her $1500.00.
When she told me this I was like what the heck was up with that. I had insurance and had to pay almost as much as she did without insurance. So to me it is quite clear that if you have dental insurance the dental office is going to stick it to you in order to get more money out of you. Because if you do not have insurance you probably can not afford to pay $3500.00.
There should be a law again a dentist adjusting their charges like that. Otherwise what is the point in me having $25.00 dollars taken out of my paycheck each time to just get rib off at a dental office for having dental insurance.
