An article in Changing Times (May 77) states- that by 1980
an:.es.timated 60 ~mi l lion people will he -covered by dental insurance.
In contrast to medical insurance which provides help in emergencies,
dental insurance is a program.=to take.; c.are~of--, problems ?while they
are.,-,small. These include cavities, cleanings and exams.
There are two basic types of plans. One type pays a percentage
of each charge up to an annual dollar limit. One company pays
1000 for exams and cleaning; 85% for x-rays, extractions and.
silver fillings; 50o for bridges, dentures and teeth straightening.
Each member is limited to$750 per year.
The second type of plan pays a standard amount for a covered
service such as $10 for a filling
.rl
There are variations on these plans and some include a waiting
period to qualify for services. The rules have been added to
prevent the financial problems that were experienced during the first
dental insurance programs.
I would like to present dental-insurance as a subject for your
consideration. We should be included in the 60 million people who
have this protection.
