Question: I have a family of six and we are without dental insurance. With the cost for dental services and the way they keep going up I really could use some help. I can not afford to get dental insurance plans right now but notice that I can afford to get a dental discount plan. I know they may not be the best but for basic care will they help me save money?

Answer: Dental discount plans are a good low cost alternative to dental insurance for a family they run around $15.00 a month and they do what they say they will. In short help you save money on your dental care needs. A dental discount plan provide discounted saving for all dental services render by their dental providers. Just make sure there is a dental provider under the plan that you are reviewing that you and your family can go to.
