I met my friend Don five years ago. After retiring, he and his wife found it difficult to afford dental care on a fixed income. Luckily, I overheard them talking about their dental care dilemma when I was eating dinner one night.

By mentioning DentalPlans.com’s discount dental plans, I helped Don and his wife save on their dental care without changing dentists.

Who says eavesdropping is a bad thing?!

One thing I love about my job is that I meet people of all ages and occupations.

Recently, I met Craig in Gold Canyon, Arizona.

Craig no longer has to wake up at the crack of dawn and fight rush hour traffic. Oh, he used to do that. But now, he is retired.

One problem Craig did not foresee before leaving the work world, was the high cost of dental care. He always had employer-paid dental insurance, and he assumed that when he retired, he’d just pay out-of-pocket for his employer’s insurance plan.

Unfortunately, Craig found that the monthly premium was out of his budget range.

During my short visit to his city, I was about to fight the Arizona heat long enough to show Craig how much he could save with a discount dental plan from DentalPlans.com.

Craig has now been a DentalPlans.com member for over 2 years. And he still loves his plan and his savings!

It’s no secret. Many people are feeling the crunch of the rising unemployment rate.

Recently, I have been helping more and more people save on dental care even after they lose access to employer-paid dental insurance.

Just a few weeks ago, for example, I was passing through Bluffton, South Carolina after a visit to my non-superhero sister in North Carolina. Bluffton is where I met Catherine and her husband. Both Catherine and her husband recently found themselves unemployed for the first time in 20 years.

Unfortunately, the old saying, “When one door closes, another opens,” was not a good thing in their situation.

A few days after losing access to employer-paid dental insurance, Catherine’s husband started having unbearable tooth pain. He visited the dentist and found out he needed a root canal.

Luckily, I was able to help Catherine and her husband find a discount dental plan on DentalPlans.com that their dentist accepted.

So far, they have saved enough to pay for their DentalPlans.com membership for 7 years to come. And they aren’t even done with their first year of membership.

Now that’s what I call a success story.
