@dr.k.sislow: I know dentistry is expensive. And I know that the current dental insurance landscape is woefully inadequate at providing coverage for patients. There are programs out there for vulnerable patients to gain free dental care, such as the elderly, the unhoused, those with HIV/AIDS, but it is harder to find these services for those who don’t fit in those categories, but still can’t afford dental care. I adore Mission of Mercy events and have volunteered many times. RAM also offers pop-up clinics to offer completely free dental care. Dental Lifeline is in Colorado and provides free care for those who are elderly, permanently disabled, or suffering from chronic conditions. I have volunteered with Dental Lifeline extensively. I know this isn’t perfect, and these still are barriers to care, but I hope that this can help some individuals out there. #dentist #freedentalcare #healthcare #privatepractice #dentistry . .

I need extensive dental work. Most likely I will need full dentures. I'm missing multiple teeth and the others are rotting and cracked. I'm terrified to go to a dentist because I'm afraid they're going to think I'm on drugs because of how bad my teeth are. I also know it's going to cost me upwards of $20,000 to get my teeth fixed and I just don't have anything even close to that.

If dentist would bypass insurance & lower the cost of dental care to the general public needing dental work. They would make money 💰 hand over fist, more profit for them. Less cost for consumers, a win/win.

Why not just offer affordable dental care? As a private practice, your fees aren’t dictated by anyone. Medical tourism places are thriving charging a fraction of the cost.

I went to the dentist (at 29) for the first time since before I was 14. I got so much attitude from my dentist about how bad my teeth are. I didnt choose to not go as a kid, then as a adult it cost too much that I couldnt go till now

Is it normal my dentist office is making me pay upfront then billing my insurance and they will reimburse me after they receive payment from my insurance?

I have dental appointment on the 11th for a filling and that appointment is going to cost $278 for one filling with insurance. I also got a .36 cent raise at my job and because of that now I don’t qualify for a sliding fee discount at the dentist. Insurance is a joke
