Okay, suppose you waited too long, and you need a root canal. You have no dental insurance, and you are hurting bad—physically and financially. What are you going to do? Most people would just go, get the work done, and then figure out what to do afterwards, contributing to more debts. However, if you could have less to pay to begin with, wouldn’t you go for that? What if you could get significant discounts before you even went in for help? Would that make a difference in your overall debt/finances?
With discount dental plans, you can save up 60% on emergency care services. 60%! For a bill of around $1,000 full price, you could end up only owing $400, saving you $600! What could you do with $600?
Here is a sampling of what you could save on various services, taken from: http://www.newcreationtechnologies.com/suggests/Dental_Plans
| Procedure Description | Usual Fee | Discounted Fee (for Plan Members) | Member Savings |
| Routine 6 Month Check-Up | $40 | $20 | $20 |
| In Depth Check-Up | $67 | $29 | $38 |
| Root Canal Treatment - Molar | $829 | $509 | $320 |
Stop emergencies before they happen, though, and get routine care before you have to have an emergency procedure done, which will be much more painful and much more expensive!
