when my daughter was very small we had insurance and it did not really seem to help I am sure they just charged me extra every time I took her in i cut a check for 800 dollars(over 10 years ago)cost me well over 4 k out of pocket and put us in the poorhouse I finally had to quit taking her

my friend s daughter took her daughter in recently to the same dentist she thought i was being dramatic until she started getting the bills, very unreasonable but this dentist does a lot of charity work for poor children, I guess he has to charge paying customers to cover the rest
Let your dentist know when your insurance will start you normally will find that most of the treatment can wait until after coverage starts

If I had to do it over again I would space the appointments further apart allowing insurance to pay more and ease the payment schedule a bit, also it gives the baby teeth that are not hurting but might need work a chance to fall out and not have pay to cap them
but would keep you on the appointment book in case of an emergency
