Question:
Please help me if you can? Dental Plans or Discount dental service...?
I have a problem with my teeth, they are very fragile and no matter how much I brush after every meal and before bed and keep off sugary foods/drinks I am constantly breaking teeth and getting cavities. I spent $15K last year at the dentist trying to fix the major issues (root canals and wisdom teeth) and nipping as many of the little issues as I could afford to do. Now, I have mostly minor little issues here and there but still about another 10K in work to be done...dental is NOT CHEAP! I dont have dental insurance available to me through my job and most the companies that provide it have rules like only covering $2500 in work a year. I am trying so hard to find a dental plan that would actually help me get this work done since the longer I wait to do it the more expensive its gonna get. I live in Florida and either need suggestions on dental plan providers you know to be GOOD or if there are any places in South Eastern US that you know of that provide discount dental service. THANKS!
Answers:
I know of two places in Florida where you can get affordable dental care (fees about half that of a private dentist):
University of Florida's College of Dentistry at Gainesville, and
Nova Southeastern University's School of Dental Medicine in Ft. Lauderdale.
Hope this helps.
