To find the best dental plan, look for one that covers 80% to 100% of routine preventive care. Research
PPOs and HMOs
to find out if it makes sense for you to choose your dentist or go to an assigned provider. Consider your needs and if you or your family might require
major dental work
in the future. Know what the deductible amount is and make sure you can afford to pay it if you need a major procedure. Some plans have yearly maximum payouts, so choose an adequate level of coverage.
