We are a family of three and my son is four.  My husband just got laid off about a month ago and prior to that they were cutting his hours back.  We do not have any extra money for anything let alone dental care. We all need some dental work done I just do not know to what extent.   We are desperate.  I at least want my son to be able to see the dentist.

Answer:  I would suggest at least for the time being to review a dental discount plan for a family it is only $15.00 a month and it will reduce your dental care cost hopefully making dental care more affordable for you and your family.  You may so want to look into getting a dental HMO insurance plans. These plans are also low cost plans without any waiting periods.
