Right now I am currently unemployed with no dental insurance benefits.  My last job offer me dental so I was able to see the dentist two to three times a year.  Now after being laid off for the past ten months I worried about my teeth care.

I get some help with my medical and I am looking for a job.  Right now I just do odd jobs when I can for the extra money.   I have not seen a dentist in over a year now since I do not have the extra money to pay cash for my dental care.

What can I do?  My teeth are fine and I do take care of them but sometime if things go unchecked you start to have problems and I do not want to have bad teeth issues latter on just because I have no dental insurance to see a dentist.

I am completely  lost when it comes all this  insurance stuff.  I get my medical benefits though my current job and I thought all this time it just included dental.  Now one of my co-workers are saying we do not have dental benefits with our medical.

I did not think she knew what she was talking about so I dug up my medical plan and now noticing that it does not address dental at all. Is it possible that my medical plan does not have dental?  Or many it does but I am just not finding where it show it. How will I know for sure I want both dental and health insurance.
