Dental Insurance: A White Collar Robbery?
By Javier Fuller
Dental Insurance is a big racket-- I don't say this to offend you. It is a big racket having 32 teeth (Normally!) Still not clear on why do I call it a racket? Well, if you break a cord of the racket, only that cord needs to be replaced; the racket is in tact. Similarly, if you lose a teeth (God forbid), the loss is limited. How expensive the dental treatment is! You give your teeth to the dentist and make payment as well.

care treatment expenses for Officers were reimbursed in full. The response to the scheme was awesome. Claims for reimbursement of expenses poured in. It almost assumed the form of a racket.

The normal essential dental plan covers eligible expenses including diagnosis expenses, prevention and treatment expenses, dental cleansing, dentures and fixtures and surgery. You need to study the policy terms and conditions carefully as there are always ifs and buts conditions, and the settlement of the claims depends upon the social ethics of the society/country.
