I have a family or four with and currently have no dental insurance coverage. I know some dental plans offer discounts off of the dental office charges, but I need to make sure that I would be saving money by paying the monthly dues and whatever the discount will be on the dentist visit. I would rather have dental insurance but will take what is affordable if it makes sense to do so

I failed to enroll for my baby to my current dental beneftis and now I have to wait until January 2012. Is dental insurance really need for a baby that is only eight months old.

I am divorced with joint coverage with my kids. I agreed to have them covered with my medical and dental insurance. I just need to know if vision care is considered a part of medical. I ask because I feel that I am paying for everything and their mother has no obligations except draining me of my money.

Do you receive your dental insurance from someone other than your employer? If so who do you get it from? My husband’s job offers health insurance but not dental. We need a good company with affordable monthly payments for us and our 2 kids. We live in Los Angeles California and really can not afford more then around $50 a month for dental insurance care.

The reason I’m asking is because I’m thinking of leaving my full time job that offer me these benefits and delving into the world of full-time nanny.  Besides being sick to my stomach with corporate America, I hope to one day go back to school for a degree with early childhood education. I love working with kids.

My only concern with this career move is losing the benefits that come with a corporate employer. Does anyone know the average monthly cost for dental,  vision health insurance? Any suggestions for insurance companies to go with?

I have regular health insurance for my kids and I.. I also have Dental and Vision insurance on just myself, because I can’t afford it for my kids. They are the ones who need it most.

I tried a few places but they wanted an arm and a leg.

What dental insurance is recommended for a single dad with two kids in Southern California? On a budget but looking to have decent coverage? I am a single father of two kids and looking for dental and vision insurance for my family. We don’t really go to the doctor as much but still want decent coverage in case I need to do so. Any ideas?

Good affordable dental insurance plan for Canadians. I am looking for fairly comprehensive dental insurance, but that is a reasonable cost, I am hoping that is not too much to ask for. It would be for my family of two adults and two children. I hoping you will know where I can get something at a reasonable cost

My ex-wife uses my dental coverage for our kids denal care and does not use hers. However, I know it is effective. She maybe filing without my knowledge and pocketing the extra I pay due to the lack of her using it as a secondary through the dental office.

I believe she is paying then submitting the bill to her insurance on her own for reimbursement. So, how do I find out for sure if she is filing claims or have it added to her dental insurance for our kids? I feel that she has been scamming me like this for a long time and I have just naively sent her checks for the medical and dental bills. Things have gone smooth for her until I decided to mail the money directly to the dental office and then they started calling because I had overpaid. So now what do I do?

My Ex is remarried and carriers dental insurance on our kids through her work insurance and her new husbands insurance. She is telling me that I will owe half of the cost for braces without her new husband using his insurance.

I do not have a problem with that but, I told that is only fine if she doesn’t submit it to his insurance, but if she does and his insurance pays then I should only owe half of the out-of-pocket costs. She giving me a hard time about this but I do not see it being fair that she is tring to make money off me when cost for our children’s health and dental care is to be 50/50.

Health and dental insurance, are dependents only wife and kids? Or can dependents also apply to extended family members that live and depend on you? Such as my mother may divorce my father and I also have an 18 year old sister but they both have no where else to go to but me to help them with the cost of health and medical care. I wondering if I can get a plan that would include them as my dependents since they are depented of me for their care right now.

I would like to know if you have vision and dental insurance for you and your young kids, or just general health? If you don’t, do you find it difficult to budget enough for those for the two vision and dental appointments each year? Or are you like me where I have to sometimes cut back and only do one a year? I would like any ideas or tips you’ve learned to help budget in those expenses

I am in college, not covered by my parent’s insurance and I can not get dental insurance at my job. Is there any sort of programs where college age students can get a relatively cheap dental insurance, or dental work done on the cheaply?

At what age should you include your kids in your dental, vision insurance? I have a three year old. Isn’t it too early for her to have to have dental cleanups ?
