Dental insurance is completely different than health insurance. You are gonna be paying out of pocket

I believe you can get health insurance and dental insurance packaged together.

Dental procedures usually only cost a couple hundred or a couple thousand so its not really something that makes economic sense to insure against.

Look into something called Care Credit. It's a credit card for anything medical related that charges you no interest as long as you pay your balance off within a year.
I have one and I only use it for the dentist sometimes when I'm running a bit short on cash. Very useful credit card to have IMO for dental work.
Wouldn't recommend it for anything other than dental, as out of pocket hospital visit will cost you an arm and a leg these days if you don't have insurance.

If you're in your mid twenties and your not disabled and you don't have more than 1000 bucks in your bank account or cash at all times, you're doing something wrong

To answer ops question: yes, there is such a thing as dental insurance. It's similar to health insurance, the cost depends on a variety of things, including what's covered, copays, etc.

Yes, I do
And to op's question, as far as my health insurance goes, it does have dental, but only pays up to like 2,500 per person per year, and 1 root canal can be up to a grand, and you got to pay so much as a deductable

Insurance is hardly worth it. You pay monthly for it, still have a deductible and you hardly ever use it. I'm soo mad about it. Why should I have to pay for something I'm hardly ever gonna use

except for the fact that bad teeth and the inability to afford (c'mon, couple hundred or a couple thousand is a lot, especially if you got boned in the genetic lottery and wound up with weak enamel from the get-go) proper dental care can lead to a whole fuckton of other really serious health issues.

Cause that's a different story and totally understandable. I guess I should have originally said if you don't have kids and stuff and are in your mid/late twenties and don't have at least a grand in your bank account then you're doing something wrong IMO.
But then I guess who cares. Money is not the most important thing in life.
