It’s very difficult to sell “insurance” for something 100% of people will need. At the end of the day, it’s just a marketing plan for the covered dentists.

- lotsofpulp 7y agoIn the US, it's just a way for employers to offer tax free income to employees. And nowadays, it's morphed into a crazy scheme where large Dental Service Organizations (DSO) offer super cheap cleanings to the insurance, and then treat their dentists and hygienists like sales staff who try to push bullshit like fluoride treatments and sealants with 1,000% markups that you have to pay for out of pocket. It's crazy what the situation is, I stopped going to certain dental practices and had to find an independent one I could trust. I'd almost rather forego the employer provided insurance cleanings and pay cash just to makes sure the incentives are aligned and the dentists and hygienists aren't trying to scam me.
