Are family dental plans worth buying?
I am self employed so do not have dental insurance and was wondering if a family dental plan is really worth buying or not. I have two teeth that are starting to bother me and would like to see a dentist. My wife and son are okay for now but I would also like for them to go in for a dental check up. However, the few plans I have review does not seem like they are really saving you money when a crown still can cost up to 400 – 500 that does not seem like a big saving to me.
I have looked at a few dental insurance plans but with the waiting periods and cost that too does not seem like I would be saving anything by buying them. So what should I be looking for to help me with my dental cost?

Guess you have not had a crown lately without having dental insurance in place. I had to have a root canal and a crown and it cost me a 1000.00 for the root canal and another 750.00 for the crown. I would have loved to have a saving of 200-300. Seems like a lot of money to me.
I learned from my mistake. I have a good dental insurance plan with Delta Dental now. I would further look into dental cost with and without dental insurance. Then make whatever decision is right for you
