One of the things most frustrating with dentistry is the benefits coverage. Say you have a plan and they offer $100 for a particular procedure. Then the dentist explains that the company is using the 2010 schedule and they charge more, so although you are covered for 80% or whatever, you are paying 20% plus that amount.
I know this isn't the time to put this out there in the economic cycle, but dentistry should be covered under health care. I have no idea how some families get by with no coverage and then having a $1000 bill out of the blue.
