I would like to find a good dental insurance web site that lets me compare more then just one dental plan being offer in California.  I know there are many different dental insurance plans offer in California but I do not want to have to go to a bunch of different websites to find them since I know I will start getting lost on were I saw what.   Is there a easy way to compare and shop out dental insurance in California.

I would like to know more about Liberty Dental HMO plan.  I have a friend that has this HMO plan and is seeing a dentist she likes.  Though for me that dentist would be to far for me to want to go to.  She been telling me to get dental insurance so that my dental cost would be much less then what I am paying for now without any dental benefits.   I would like to but since I never had dental insurance I am not sure how to go about getting it and what to look for so I do not feel like I got taken.

I been online for a few days looking for a low cost HMO plan that offer good benefits.  I hoping to get my teeth fixed up before the end of the year and I came across your California dental HMO plans that seem to be really affordable.  Can you advise what are the main difference between the three plans they offer in California.  Thank you

I am 24 and when I was younger I did not receive good oral health care since my parents could not afford for me to see the dentist to often.  Now I am out on my own and working full time but I still do not receive dental benefits though my job.   The dentist I have call locally all say they take Dental Dental so it seems to be the better of the dental insurance plan option.  I see that Dental Dental of California is affordable but does it offer good benefits on my oral health care needs.

Having good dental habits at home will help keep your dental care cost low.   I am sure you may have heard this before but flossing and brushing your teeth daily will help  you to prevent cavities and gum disease.  With proper preventive dental care at home you can prevent larger more costly dental services done at the dentist.

Due to the current dismal economy many people are not seeing their dentist as often as the should.  With California being a hard hit state for unemployment,  if you are putting off that needed trip to the dentist, know you are not alone in doing so.

In a 2011 survey of dental care affordability and accessibility 77% of Americans without dental care delayed further dental visits due to the cost of care. The survey also shows that 73% of Americans do not even know what their dental care costs.

I had Blue Cross with a prior job,  I really like the the dental benefits the plan had to offer me.  I am looking at the HMO plan you offer in California though Anthem Blue Cross.  It seems like a pretty good plan for HMO and my dentist I listed.  I think the plan I use to have with Blue Cross was a PPO but I know I can not afford PPO dental plans right now.  I want to make sure that Anthem is the old Blue Cross?

Millions of people that needed dental care have not gone stating that they could not afford the cost of receiving dental care.   According to a recent study,  it shows that even people that have dental insurance put off their dental care needs because of out-of-pocket expenses were still to costly for them.  These cost issues do not only impact the lower-income household but middle income households as well.

Preventive dental care has never been more important.   Most dental insurance plans stress preventive dental care. They do this by providing no to very low co-payments for preventive dental care services. By having good at home dental habits and seeing your dentist for preventive dental care you can help to keep your dental cost low.

Brushing and flossing your teeth daily, will help to prevent cavities from starting.  By seeing your dentist twice a year, the dentist can detect any early signs of tooth decay or gum disease and provide  treatment while it still basic dental issue.   Do not put off your dental care,  Do maintain good preventive dental care habits for healthier teeth and gums thus keep your dental care cost throughout the year lower

Due to baby boomer aging the number of older adults are increasing. Therefore more people are facing tooth loss more commonly among the elderly. One Survey taken estimates that 37 millions Americans will need dentures by 2020.

In an article taken from the Journal of Oral Implantology reports on an alternative treatment to dentures. The “All-on-Four” therapy uses four implants to support a fixed prosthesis, and the patient’s new teeth can be put in place the day of surgery.

The All-on-Four treatment maximizes the use of available bone and allows immediate functionality. Four implants are placed two near the front and two near the back of the dental area. These support a fixed, full-arch prosthesis that is put in place the same day as the surgery. The success of this therapy is judged not only by its comfort and usability for the patient, but also by its longevity.

A recent fatality from a tooth infection illustrates just how the current economic downturn is endangering oral health care. In Ohio a man died from a tooth infection that was not taken care of.
