Are You Happy With Your Smile

by Frank Menkal


How important is our dental care anyways? Well for starters if
you smoke or chew tobacco, you have a greater risk for gum
disease and oral cancer. Men are affected twice as often as
women, and 90 percent of oral cancers occur in those over 45
years of age. Studies have also shown that diabetics are more
susceptible to the development of oral infections and
periodontal disease than those who do not have diabetes. To
prevent problems with bacterial infections in the mouth, your
dentist may prescribe antibiotics, medicated mouth rinses, and
more frequent cleanings.

What are my options when it comes to dental plans? Well let me
tell you, typically when it comes to dental coverage, most would
take care of their dental needs through there job or even from
an insurance provider, for a small monthly fee of course. But
these days, that is far to impractical, with the development of
great discount plans now widely available, one could save
“Hugely” with this type of plan!

Here are some examples of your typical dental insurance plan vs.
your dental discount plan and the kind of money a family could
be saving. First of all, when it comes to your dental insurance
offered through your employer, the monthly fees are much smaller
when your not buying the converge on your own. . This is due to
the fact that your employer pays most of the monthly cost
passing the savings on to you! What you don’t realize is that in
the end, the typical family pays more on a yearly basis.

Let me tell you that most families only go to the dentist when
they need to. If your only going to the dentist when your teeth
are in trouble, instead of getting your regular check up’s and
teeth cleanings twice a year, those monthly fee’s add up to
quite a bit when your looking at it on a yearly basis. When
members of your family do make it to the dentist, they come to
find out that not all procedure are covered and the paper work
may get out of hand! In the end the insurance company wins
making your family the losers (I’m just telling it how it is
folks):

Now when it comes to picking a great discount plan, there are
many options out there. Among these plans, I found that after
doing some digging, that Ameriplan offers a plan that one would
need in order to save more on a yearly basis On top of their
discount dental program, you would automatically receive

chiropractic. To give you an idea on how your family would
save more money with this type of dental program, all you need
to understand are the basics about how it works.

First of all, anyone can sign up for this dental program and the
monthly costs are fifteen dollars for and individual and twenty
dollars for an entire house hold. Secondly, when you do decided
to make an appointment for that mean tooth of yours, you get the
discounted rate at the time of the appointment. Meaning, no
wasted high monthly insurance cost when your family is not using
the plan. I also found that when you do pay for all your
treatments, most if not all are discounted up to eighty percent,
“Wow”! If you ask me, this plan is worth looking into.

Other Facts that you might have not heard until now! 50%
consider the smile the first facial feature they notice, and 80%
are not happy with their smile! Maybe if you had the right
motivation with the right dental program, your family would not
just be another average statistic. Smokers remain three times
more likely than non-smokers to lose all their teeth. This
figure has not changed from a decade ago. “Yikes” if you smoke,
one should consider the future and how not taking care of your
teeth could really affect you later in life!

If you are a person that is concerned about not being a part of
that 80% of people that are not happy with their smiles, I would
highly recommend getting enrolled in a discount dental plan like
Ameriplan. For only a small fee a month you can be on your way
to a healthier smile without having to pay and arm and a leg for
it! Dental care can get expensive but thanks to companies like
this we now have an outlet to save money on our smiles!
