I lost dental coverage for myself and my wife. It expired on 6\/30. The company offered us COBRA coverage but it 4 times more than the premium for the dental insurance we had. That is ridiculous. I don\u2019t like the way the financial rep at our dentist sounded when she found out that we lost our coverage. How do I find a dentist who will accept us? Ted<\/p>\n

Ted \u2013 We suggest that you get recommendations from friends or family members who like their dentist. After you get the recommendations, look at the dentists\u2019 websites, or call the office, to find out what forms of payment<\/a> are accepted. You will find that many offices accept credit or payment plans, or offer financing.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t get a recommendation from anyone, search online for an affordable dentist or a dentist who accepts patients that don\u2019t have dental insurance. After you find four or five dentists who might be able to meet your needs, look online for patient reviews. You can schedule consultations with two or three of the dentists to help you make a final decision. If you need special care for your teeth, such as orthodontic or cosmetic treatment, be certain that the dentist you choose offers those services and is experienced with them.<\/p>\n
