Toothache
This morning I woke up all chipper and happy, but within a few minutes it all changed. My first sip of coffee brought on a horrible toothache. My guess is what I suspected a couple of weeks ago, a piece to my filling may have come out. At the time it was just something I blew off, oh well a little tiny piece of filling came out .. No biggie! Ha! until it’s all sensitive to hot coffee!
OK! That’s not the worse of my problems, after 5 kiddies a little toothache is definitely something I can handle. But in the case it worsens I wanted to be ready. So I pull out my insurance folder and realize that after my dental insurance company sold/transferred or how ever they do, to another company I never sent in a form they requested. So.. Yep!! You got it, I have no dental insurance! So I’ve spent a good part of my day researching dental insurance and dental plans, of course with the help of my good buddy Google.
There are a tons of dental plans, which can be somewhat overwhelming. I finally came across DentalPlans.com who offers 30+ dental discount plans to help you save at the dentist, including top plans like the Solstice dental plan. Which is one of the ones I am interested in, the Solstice dental plan is an affordable discount plan, an alternative to Florida dental insurance. Not to mention things like it includes cosmetic care including teeth whitening, bonding & veneers. (I have always like the look of veneers).
I just want a good plan for a good rate, and the cost of dental care in Florida continues to rise. Which will most likely drive and more people to discounted dental plans, like the ones I found on DentalPlans.com.
Oh!! Did you know that stress affects your dental health? I never knew until today as I was checking out the dental plans, I noticed they also had a blog so I had a peek. If you didn’t know that stress affects your dental health, then you’ll have to read the story here.













Note to self: Take advantage of your decent dental coverage and see Dr. Jenkins more regularly– he really is a lovely man even if he aims small power tools at your face. =)
