I have already gone on line and serch for Individual Dental Insurance and found a few different dental plan options. The affordable dental plans that I have review are all  dental discount plans.  I  would rather have  a dental insurance plan that is affordable.  However with that said with the dental insurance plans have a  monthly cost that is more then I can really afford.  Are there any dental insurance plans that would be in between the two affordable but still insurance?

I like to know what is a good individual dental insurance plan for braces? I have done some research and nailed it down to either DeltaCare and Pacificare Dental. So which dental insurance is better, or any other suggestions? Both are HMO plans, PPO plans I seen are either too costly for me or they do not offer adult braces.   Though I am concerned about the quality of the services as far as making claims and such. So I think either one of these two plans make work but like some feed back.

I am a college student with current dental coverages under my parents dental plan. However the plan only up to $1500.00 per person per year. This will not be enough for me since I just found out that I will be needing to have all of my wisdom teeth extracted, as well as I possibly may need to have three root canals. After my plan pay out $1500.00 I do not  think I can afford the remaining cost.  Would getting my own individual dental insurance plan help and what plans would be good?

I do not really understand why at 28 I can not seem to find any dental insurance plan that affordable for a low income person like me.   In fact the only low or free programs for dental care are all for children.  As an adult, I’ve have to see a dentist way more often than when I was a kid. I recently had 3 wisdom teeth out, have a 4th one coming in, and I have to pay it all out of pocket because my small insurance policy won’t cover dental. I think it’s more important that adults get covered too.

I need more then just a twice a year basic cleaning.  I a hoping you have something that would be better for all other basic dental care that is still low in cost so I can afford to get it.
