Help figuring out dental claim? Hi! I recently started my first job post college and they give free dental. I haven’t had dental insurance in years so I’ve been taking advantage. I messed up, though, and accidentally started going to a place out of network.

I moved here about 4 years ago with braces, got them removed here too.

Could I get a personal loan for dental care? I was under the impression that I was looking at $5-10k of work which is essential to obtain, but this wasn’t the case; two offices have quoted me so far, $22k and $25k. It’s mind boggling. Instead of going to Mexico or something, I wondered if it would be possible to obtain a loan for around $15,000. Ideally, it would be on a 5+ year repayment …

Dental Industry Social Media I manage social media accounts for businesses in the Dental Industry (General Dentists, Orthodontists, and Pediatric Dentists). This is a very niche group. I’m wondering if anyone else in this group works in this industry specifically with social media? And if so, I’d love to hear what you are creating / how you are tracking metrics. Unfortunate…

LPT (lilely obvious) Wireless earbuds make dental work less stressful Obviously, check with the dentist or tech first. Wireless earbuds don’t get in the way, and you can put on some relaxing music to focus on instead of whatever scraping or pulling might be happening. submitted by /u/pfp-disciple

Dental office billing me for the other 60% of dental work 4 months later after they told me insurance would be covering this. Am I obligated to pay? I was told by my dentist I needed a mouth guard as a heavy grinder if I wanted to avoid losing teeth. They told me insurance would cover 60% and billed me accordingly on June 2nd, 2023. I happily paid. During my visit on September 26th, 2023 they informed me I need to pay the total bill as my claim was denied nearly 4 months later. My insurance …

New to Dental Insurance, how does this work? Hey all, I’ve recently gone to the dentist a couple of times for the first time since joining my new company and its dental insurance plan, Delta Dental.

Should I get dental insurance? Just went to dentist for cleaning and have quite a few cavities that need to be filled. I’m self-employed and don’t have dental insurance so it’ll be about $3500 out of pocket. Would I save money by getting dental insurance before I go back next week to get them filled? Or should I just take the L and pay the $3500? submitted by /u/freedo…
