I pay cash for my 2 annual dental checkups and cleanings, and worked out a payment plan when I needed a crown. I've saved hundreds of dollars.
It is a scam! I have dental for my husband & myself. We each get two free cleanings a month & xrays, but the amount they pay for procedures is laughable. I had an infection & had to go to an urgent care Thursday. They actually have a shot preparation fee!!!!!! It never ends!
