Dental work has to be one of the worst unexpected expenses for people!
I stumbled across this article about some of the hardest parts about dentistry don't actually include the dental work itself but rather the cost.
Im a dental office manager and deal with patient reactions all the time when they find out they need a root canal or something that their insurance wont fully cover and then find out how much its going to cost them.
This article really brought to light how the financial side of treatment can easily change up the conversation.
Im curious how people have handled this when its happened to you.
Patients, did you fight your insurance, shop around, go into your savings, start a payment plan, or go as far as to postpone treatment?
Dentists, is there anything you do to help your patients in situations like this?
