Dental Filling? $200. Dental Crown? $900. Dental Root Canal? $1200. Dental Insurance? Priceless... especially when you don't have any!
If tooth pain is driving you insane but you haven't gone to the dentist because you have no dental coverage, there is one way you can see a dentist today or tomorrow and realistically save 35% to 55% or more on your dental bill by enrolling in a Discount Dental Plan. In fact the online home of Family Circle and Parents magazines, PARENTS.COM, recently recommended discount dental plans (a.k.a. discount clubs) as #3 on their list of 25 Ways To Save On Health Care.
Unlike traditional dental insurance, some discount dental plans offer members Emergency Dental Coverage allowing them to see a dentist right away without waiting for a referral!
Another benefit of using discount dental plans for dental emergencies is that new members won't be charged an extra fee to be seen that day as many dentist offices charge new patients a fee as much as $25 to be seen the same day they call to make an appointment.

"It was great being able to go to the dentist and know I wasn't going to spend a lot. Instead of a $137 I only paid $55. When we went to the eye doctor to get glasses, we saved $150. I am more willing to go to the dentist to get the work done instead of putting it off because it costs too much. Thanks to AmeriPlan I can go when I am suppose to." - Amy McGrath of Tolland, CT (May, 08)

"I needed a lot of dental work immediately. I searched the Internet and found your web site. I signed up for the plan, scheduled my dentist appointment, and was able to use it a day later! The plan paid for itself in the first visit, with several X-rays and an extraction. I have had more work done since then and have saved over $1000. I am very pleased with this plan." - Patricia of Tampa, FL (Feb, 07)
