Is it me? Dental Benefits just suck in US.

I mean- I have a Dental PPO and the cap is $1500 per calendar year.

Fortunately for me- I have to get a damn root canal and a crown- actually 2 crowns. (WtF)

My damn insurance will cover like 2/3 of all that.
($1500 in total deductables) actual bill is like $4000 or something rediculous like that.

Then they sit there and try to push damn financing of dental work. Im like REALLY- WTF?

Im not really up to all the medical and dental benefits woes but someone please enlighten me before i flip out.

Either you have crappy coverage, have crappy hygene, have a crappy dentist, or have a crappy job. How do you manage to pay that much in dental insurance every year? Seriously, at the last 2 companies I've worked for the dental portion of insurance was essentially a non-issue unless I had pretty major mouth issues. I get 2 cleanings a year for free(though insurance doesn't pay $25 for flouride treatment that I generally choose to avoid anyway), and after that I have a pretty reasonable deductible for other work if I require it. I pretty much have the same deal at my current employer, though my plan is a better group plan than the previous one I had.


Then again, people are really picky about who they let in their mouth. Mouths are important. Teeth are important. You gotta eat. Is $1500 the maximum amount you can be charged for any amount of dental work in a year? If so I'd say that sounds pretty good--$1500 can be paid off relatively quickly with some discipline.
