Buying a Dental Plan on the Internet in California
I moved to California and am 27 due to poor dental care, as a child, I had some awful teeth and would like dental health care help. I went to a dentist who gave me a free consultation. However, with the amount of dental work needed, I can not afford to have it started.
The dental office advised me to look for a dental PPO plan to let me stay with them. They said to find a dental PPO plan that offers short or no waiting periods. I need help to understand what they mean. Can you help me?
Reply: Under a dental PPO plan, waiting periods refer to the time a member must wait before receiving certain types of dental services. Waiting periods vary depending on the plan and the procedure. For example, basic services like fillings or extractions may have a shorter waiting period, while major services like root canals or crowns may have a longer waiting period. Some plans may also have no waiting periods for any services. It is essential to review the details of any dental plan you’re considering to understand their waiting period policies.
