Is there a waiting period for major dental work when you add your spouse onto your dental plan?

The application of a waiting period may also be related to when you are adding a spouse--in open enrollment or because of a recent marriage that allows your spouse to be added between open enrollment periods.
Bottom-line--you need to check the terms of your policy. You should have a booklet or access to information on-line. You can also call the customer service number on your ID card.
NOTE: If your plan is a discount dental plan, there will not be a waiting period as the plan does not pay the dentist, you do--at the negotiated discount.

What does waiting period mean for dental services?
A waiting period is the period of time before certain procedures are covered under your dental insurance policy. This usually applies to more expensive (sometimes called major) procedures under individual policies like crowns, root canals or full dentures and for orthodontic coverage under group policies. Here are a couple of examples. In the AARP group dental plan there is a one year "waiting period" for gum treatment, full dentures, crowns and TMJ treatment. The Federal Employees Dental Plan has a two year waiting period before orthodontics (braces) are covered.
Will you be able to get inexpensive individual dental insurance if you discontinue COBRA and have a lapse in coverage?
== == Yes, dental insurance is not like major medical. There are a lot of individual plans on the market and they do not consider continuation of coverage. However, it is fairly common for individual dental plans to have a waiting period for major services. The reason is that they do not want you to sign up, get a $1000 or more of benefits and then drop the coverage a month later.
Is there low cost dental care available in Bradenton or Sarasota?
One option is a discount dental plan, which could save you 30% to 40% on major procedures. This is not dental insurance, where you can go to any dentist. With a discount dental plan, you must use one of the plan's "participating" dentists. However unlike "dental insurance," there are no waiting periods for covered service. You can start immediately. Compare some Florida plans at www.florida-dental-plan.com, www.dentalplans.com, and www.smartdentalplan.com.

There are some colleges that offer dental classes, but only because those classes are related to actual dental schools.

YOU DO NOT, AND I REPEAT, DO NOT HAVE TO DO PRE-MED TO GET INTO DENTAL SCHOOL!!
