Dental Insurance, or the Lack of It,

or the totally inadequate benefits of most dental plans, which are mostly good for checkups and perhaps a filling or a root canal but nothing else, is a major scandal. Now people's teeth are paying the price.

Like yours truly, who has major gum disease and a tooth that is broken and unslightly in the front.

However, the article talks about dentists, greed, and shortages. Those are important, but again, I say most dental insurance policies, provided people have the insurance to begin with, are totally worthless.
