California Dental, Kids’ Dental Care Needed.

I have three kids, and I need to be able to take them to an affordable dentist. I do not have money to take three kids to the dentist at $200.00 each. And that is just for the basic visit, X-rays, and cleaning. There would only be a way to address those issues if they needed something more.

I am trying to figure out what to do. My kids do not have any teeth issues right now, and I ensure they are brushing their teeth as they should, but I feel bad that I can not afford to get them the proper dental care.

Reply: It sounds like you may not have dental insurance in place for your family. Review dental HMO insurance plan options. They are the more affordable insurance plan running around $20.00 – 45.00 a month for a family plan. Most HMO insurance plans offer free preventive care, which saves $200.00 on each child based on the amount you stated you are currently paying. That is a $600.00 saving, well worth the monthly cost for an HMO dental insurance plan.
