Dental Insurance offer though Aetna Dental Insurance plans.

Thursday, Feb. 16th 2012

I am trying to find a dental insurance plan that will work well for all my family dental needs.  Our current dental office stated that they take most dental insurance plans and that the Aetna dental plan is one of the plans they are a provider in.  My question is I found the Aenta plan but I do not see them on the provider list. Does that matter if they say they take the plan?

Feeling the financial Pressures in a down economy are UK Dentist

Tuesday, Feb. 14th 2012

NHS Information Centre show a steady fall in dentists’ average taxable income over the last few years. This Report show  that the average taxable income for self-employed primary care dentists in England was reduced by 5.2%.

This substantial cutback, reflects an increase of 3.1% in practice expenses in 2009/2010 and that was after an increase of 7.6% in expenses in 2008/2009. With these expenses that continue to accelerate during 2010/11 primary care dental practices are feeling the financial pressures.

Some of the reasons for the increase of expenses is due to the increasing prices of precious metals commonly used in dentistry, the rising cost of materials and equipment because of the exchange rate from Pound Sterling against the Euro and US Dollar as well as staff cost and burden of regulations and red tape.

Dental Aide Therapists are a Much-Needed Solution for Dental Care In Rural Alaska Dental Health Care

Sunday, Feb. 12th 2012

In rural Akasja where access to dental care and dentist are very limited,  dental health aide therapists may improve oral health care.

This allows dental disease to worsen and fosters expectations that dental care should be sought only when a person is in pain.
