provide a balance between the need to emphasize preventative care and cost control. The
combination approach shares many of the same disadvantages as scheduled in our schedule plans at
least for certain types of expenses



Basic difference between medicine and dentistry - ANSWER1. Physicians typically practice in groups,
while many dentists practice almost exclusively in individual offices. This isolation tends to produce a
greater variety of dental practice patterns that exist in medicine and doesn't allow for the same
opportunities for peer review & general quality control

2. Many individuals may require only preventative or no medical care for years but, because of the
need for preventative dentistry, the need for regular dental care is almost universal to ensure sound
oral hygiene. So, individuals routinely visit their tennis for preventative dental care, but in medicine a
patient may visit a physician only with certain symptoms

3. Because of his emphasis on prevention, dental treatment often is considered elective and Is
sometimes postpone unless there is pain or trauma. Because there is no life-threatening urgency, the
patient may postpone treatment.

4. Because the need for major dental care is neither life-threatening nor time critical, dentists charge
for a major courses of treatment can be discussed in advance of the treatment, allowing the patient
the option of deferring the treatment or not having it at all

5. While medical care is really cosmetic, dental care often is

6. Dentistry often offers a variety of alternative procedures for the treatment of disease and
restoration of teeth that may be equally efficient but can vary wildly in the degree of complexity and
cost

7. Dental expenses generally are lower, more predictable & budgetable, with the average medical
claim being much higher than the average dental claim
