What you can expect to pay for a dental procedure whether you’re insured or not
YONKERS, NY - The biggest reason for delaying dental care is cost, according to a new Consumer Reports survey that asked readers to describe the dental health and cosmetic treatments they received in the last 5 years. CR subscribers tend to have better insurance coverage than Americans on average, but cost was still cited as a barrier by 43 percent of readers who delayed. The survey also reveals that only a third of readers are brushing and flossing when they should and some patients might be paying for cosmetic treatments they don’t need. The report is available in the February issue of Consumer Reports and online at www.ConsumerReports.org.
