Yeah

Considering your current situation you may be limited.

Once you get that fixed... how much are you paying for that dental insurance? Lots of plans have very low caps.

I think mine is like $16 a month for $1,500 coverage. How much is cash pay for a cleaning? Might not be that much more expensive to just cash pay it for a cleaning.

About $125 if your gums are healthy. Maybe a little more at some places. That's for cleaning, exam, and xrays.

I pay about $35 a month. I get preventative like teeth cleaning x-rays, fluoride paid for, but fillings, crowns, and dentures are 50 percent with a cap of $1000 with a $100 deductible. I'm convinced that for the average person the premiums, co-pays and deductibles for the doctor gives you a better return than the damn dentist per dollar.

Drop the insurance plan and find a dentist that has their own savings plan.
