Consulate Dental Plans, Endodontic Treatment and Choosing the Right Specialist.
Question: I had my current dental HMO plan for the pass seven years. I been happy with my dental plan, however it does not provide coverages for Endodontic treatment done by a specialist. Although my family dentist does root canals he said that I will need to see a Endodontic specialist this time. How do I pick a good specialist? I do not know much about choosing a dentist.
Answer: Normally even if your current dental plan does not provide coverages for you to see specialist your general or family dentist can still provide a referral. If you do not know who to go to ask your family dentist if they can suggest an Endodontic dentist too you. If you are left on your own to find a specialist, try looking on line for one near you. Most dental offices now have their own web sites that will give you a review of them and what they do. While you are on their site see if they are offering any specials to new patients
