Did u look into Fidelity Dental Plan? I have this plan, I pay $350 a year & they cover entire family for this price. Insurance pays 50-60% of dental expenses

Do you have Medicaid or dental insurance?
ALso, sometimes if it's done a certain way, some insurances will cover it as it is considered a surgical procedure.

When I had my wisdom teeth pulled I had regular health insurance and separate dental insurance. But the dental told me to submit it to my health insurance first, and they covered it because the teeth were impacted.

I dont have dental insurance either and just had 3 wisdom teeth pulled. If they are bothering you and your oral surgeon says that you need to have them pulled that falls into the category of "medical" and would be covered by your regular medical insurance. Check with your insurance co. please.

Jersey Family Dentist I think its called..in Todd plaza ..Dr Pinsky excellent dentist. They accept Americhoice and Horizon Mercy ,if you have Jersycare or Medicaid switch to those HMOs.

There is also a Dr Zwirn on Rt 70 nr Walmart , frum guy gives large discounts to Yeshiva families paying cash. I havent been there in over 10 years, so he might not be there.

Double check you health insurance. My wisdom teeth were impacted, so my health insurance covered all of it.

Yes. Health insurance will often cover it and sometimes the coverage is better than on the dental plan.
