Any time the dental office ...I completely agree!!! Any time the dental office recommends anything that needs to be done for anyone in our family I ALWAYS ask them "how much will it cost me?" before proceeding. They send in a pre-determination form to blue cross and will give me a total cost before I even open my mouth. It's become much easier this way because there are no more surprise bills. But I completely agree that there should be more financial support for dental. Even with 2 dental plans Beka's ortho is still costing us $3000.

When I called they explained that MSI only covers one dentist visit per child, per year... not the recommended two visits per year. At that time I didn't have any other insurance so I had to pay up. What the heck? Isn't it the government and the Canadian Dental people that have stipulated the two visits per year to ensure children have good dental health? As you said, perhaps I shouldn't be complaining because it could be much worse. But still!!!Louisettenoreply@blogger.com
