Surprisingly, even if your employer offers dental insurance, you might be better off skipping it. With the former, you can really benefit, but with the latter, you could be wasting your money. One situation where it can make sense to get dental insurance regardless of whether it seems like a good deal in the long run is if you are living from paycheck to paycheck with little or no money saved.
Brushing and flossing regularly, switching to an inexpensive electric toothbrush, getting professional cleanings every six months, and going to a dentist who does high-quality work that lasts for years can be the most effective ways to save money in the long run.
