Insurance is a scam designed to make insurance companies rich. It
isn't necessarily good for medical care or dental care, neither the
dentists, doctors nor their patients. But it is the major way things
are done here in the U.S..
Personally I think Dental Insurance is the biggest scam of all because
you get so little benefit for your money. At least with HMO medical
insurance if some major accident happens or you just get really sick
like with cancer or something, you are completely covered.
But with dental insurance, there are limits to the coverage, and you almost
always end up paying a lot of "out of pocket" costs, usually so much
that the insurance benefit is negligible. Also, the way dental
insurance is structured it turns dentists into crooks, telling
patients they need things they don't really need, or selling the
patient on some procedure that is not covered, such as teeth
whitening, with used-car sales tactics.
