Getting Dental Insurance Isn’t Always Easy

For years I worked for an employer who offered great medical benefits but never included dental insurance.  And those were the days my children were young.

I was a single mother so, when any of us had a dental emergency, I had to work out a payment plan with the dentist.  It seemed that I spent all of my extra money paying off bills for fillings and cleanings.

Eventually I got a job with a company that provided excellent dental insurance.  Although I wasn’t crazy about the job, I stayed there fourteen years so that I could keep my coverage.  My Dental Plan saved me thousands of dollars.

I left that company when the boys grew up but I was grateful to them for all of the benefits I’d enjoyed.  I couldn’t have afforded the expensive medical and dental treatments we’d had otherwise.
