I was just laid off and my family lost our health care benefits including dental insurance.

It's terrible timing because money is obviously very tight, and my daughter needs braces and my wife might need a root canal.

I did some research online and joined a discount dental plan on <a href="http://www.dentalplans.com">DentalPlans.com</a>. This plan is saving us about $800 on my daughter's braces. My wife is going to see the dentist next week, but I hope the savings are similar.

Anyways, I just wanted to share my story and let everyone know that it's still possible to save even if you don't have dental insurance. Finding www.DentalPlans.com has been a blessing in this rough economy!

I was "phased out" June 30th, 2008, after 25 years of service. I am not eligible for the COBRA assistance or extension. I have been unemployed 2 months too long. Go figure... If you are going to write an article, tell the whole truth, not just what fits your agenda...
