I compared the co pays on several reputable dental insurance companies and it is very expensive. Many things are not covered, even with the best dental insurance. Health insurance is usually a 10 dollar co pay for primary physicians and a 35-50 dollar co pay for specialty physicians. Is there any reason why dental insurance co pay is as expensive as it is?

Actually, the only time the copays are so low for health insurance is when you’re dealing with those high-dollar plans provided by a lot of employers. (At least those are the types of plans that were provided be employers in the past; that’s changing significantly because of the cost involved.) Trust me, these are FAR from the "norm."

As for dental insurance, the fact is that there are nearly as many organized networks for dental providers as there are for medical providers (where belonging to as many networks as possible is the best way to ensure you keep new clients coming in to your practice.) Dental insurance, by comparison to what you pay for medical coverage (particularly of the variety you mention) is also CHEAP. And I don’t know very many people who would pay triple the price for dental insurance so they could get the $10 copay. In the end, it’s really that simple.

Having good dental hygiene can be such a hassle sometimes, so we’ve simplified the process the Blendtec way.

I cant receive medical because i am over 19yrs old and i am not pregnant, i think it is the same case with healthy families. Does anyone know of a good dental plan?

I’m not sure where you come from but here in Canada, UBC offers student dental insurance. It covers the basic but not all dental office will accept the insurance.

You should check with your student union and ask if they do provide coverage for students.

Most dental plans are good. It all depends on how much you want to put in.

My dental floss rips and shreds and then I am more uncomfortable as I then have food and dental floss stuck inthat small space. What won’t shred and get rid of this uneasy feeling.

Use a floss that says it doesn’t shred such as Glide, Satin Floss, Eze Thru, Eze Slide or Colgate Total floss. Now floss through the problem area but don’t try to floss back out simply let go of one end of the floss and pull it through the side with the other end. If this hasn’t solved your problem try flossing with a double piece of floss or tie a small knot in your floss then floss with a smooth piece, let go and pull the knotted area through between the teeth and remove everything.

I’m an Iraq war veteran and the VA is refusing to continue a routine (but expensive) dental treatment which began while in the military. I cannot afford a dental plan and I do not qualify for Medi-Cal (California’s single-payer health care for the poor). I’m willing to go to Canada to get this done.

Anyone have any resources on how I can get this done through Canada’s Medicare?

You need to get a local news station to air your story. The VA should be ashamed of themselves.
Thank you for your bravery in protecting our country.
