Dental plan and insurance surveys statistics have proven health care coverage to be very costly to the average American family.

Most Americans cannot afford to have your conventional insurance, employee benefits or individual dental insurance plans inclusive with their everyday health maintenance organizations insurance. HMO?s, PPO, Why? High Cost!

American’s have cried out to one governmental administration to the next, which has made Dental health care a major issue in the news and in the Government. They have been seeking without true resolve an affordable, low cost dental benefits and health plan as an alternative health solution to this dilemma.

Senior citizens on fix incomes can barely receive adequate care without spending the majority of their fix income on care, while still striving to make ends meet especially in the pharmaceutical arena. But there is a solution.

As seen on 60 Minutes, The American Medical Review with the renowned and well known Morley Safer. Ameriplan is attacking the problem in a way different ? and have made a significant impact in the health care arena.

For millions they have came up with a plan that for many is better ? than traditional dental insurance. They package a discount plan where dentists agree to charge up to 80 % less for their standard types of treatment. The plan includes a free Vision, Prescription and Chiropractic service plan for additional savings (50%-60%).

The integrity of their program and it?s surveyed impact has brought Ameriplan to the forefront of The Medical Review. This review only highlights those in America who has brought significant change and impact to the Medical field.

Together with the caring and compassionate group of Professional Medical Providers; Ameriplan is changing the statistics on the number of deprived Americans- especially low-income and underserved citizens of all ages.

Consequently this has also affected change in the number of adults and children who without resolve continued to suffer from a range of oral diseases and physical disabilities associated with dental neglect that are ironically, and medically preventable.

Significant features of the plan are:

Nation wide care, No waiting periods, No limits on services or visits,all pre-existing conditions covered except braces in progress,braces for both children and adults are covered, all Specialists included, cosmetic dentistry is included and more.

With the consumer in mind there is a No Risk 100% money back satisfaction Guarantee and there are no hidden clauses to keep you locked into the plan - keep or cancel when you want! Plus you can change providers, as you want, when you want.

The costs to join? Only $11.95 per month for an individual, or $19.95 per month for an entire household, which covers ALL people living under the same roof, related or not. The plan is also avaliable to businesses, groups and self employed, at the same price and discounts for gropus of 5 or more.

Ameriplan alone does not solve the dental crisis in this country, but it is a great start to providing savings to everyone for these critical services that affordable dental insurance, cheap dental insurance, and discount dental insurance are not providing for.

Injuries to children?s teeth can be very distressing for children as well as their parents.
Dental trauma may occur as a result of a sports mishap, an altercation, a fall inside of the home, or other causes.
Prompt treatment is essential for the long-term health of an injured tooth.
Obtaining dental care within 30 minutes can make the difference between saving or loosing a tooth.

Causes and frequency of dental trauma:
Approximately 30% of children have experienced dental injuries.
Injuries to the mouth include teeth that are: knocked out, fractured, forced out of position, pushed up, or loosened.
Root fracture and dental bone fractures can also occur.

The peak period for trauma to the primary teeth is 18 to 40 months of age, because this is a time of increased mobility for the relatively uncoordinated toddler.

BOSTON, MA August 19, 2004 — Replacing missing teeth through dental surgery with nominal Novocain and minimal blood is now a reality. With the understanding that many individuals have an intolerable fear of dentists and dental procedures, Boston-based dentists, Dr. Jack D. Rosenberg and Dr. Steven D. Spitz, have developed a groundbreaking laser surgery technique to place dental implants (tooth replacements) without cutting, bleeding or stitches, and with minimal discomfort.

Dr. Rosenberg and Dr. Spitz are the first dentists in the nation to perform this type of laser implant surgery with the Waterlase? laser, the only FDA approved laser for this procedure, instead of a scalpel, the traditional method. The new method reduces pain during surgery as well as dramatically improves healing time and post-operative discomfort.

?The Rosenberg-Spitz technique will especially benefit fearful patients who will appreciate the comfort, quick healing time, and ease our procedure provides,? said Dr. Spitz. ?Dental implants are a great option for many patients, and with our technique, patients heal faster and virtually pain-free.? Dr. Spitz estimates that approximately 50 percent of implant patients are eligible for the Rosenberg- Spitz laser implant technique.

?I delayed having the surgery for so many years. Dr. Spitz finally persuaded me to try this new laser surgery,? says Rob Braunstein, one of the first patients of this laser dental technique to replace a missing tooth. ?It?s one of the best decisions I ever made. I smile more every day, and I am no longer afraid of the dentist?s chair.?

Drs. Rosenberg and Spitz are co-founders of the Institute of Advanced Laser Dentistry in Burlington, MA (www.AdvancedLaserDentistry.net). They have also created and developed ?The PerfectFit? Surgical Guide (patent pending), a template used with the Waterlase laser to place dental implants to the precise size and positioning required by the patient. Both Drs. Rosenberg and Spitz teach and lecture extensively throughout the country and abroad.

?The Rosenberg-Spitz technique is an amazing time-saver,? said Dr. John Graeber of East Hanover, NJ. ?The first day of using the procedure, we completed all surgeries an hour ahead of schedule. Of the first three patients, only one needed 2 Advil for post-op pain!?

Dr. Jack D. Rosenberg has an advanced specialty in General Dentistry and is located in Burlington, MA. Dr. Steven D. Spitz, is a Prosthodontist and founder/owner of Smileboston Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry located in Kenmore Square. Dr. Spitz and Smileboston were awarded the Improper Bostonian?s ?Boston?s Best? award in 2003. For more information please visit www.smileboston.net.
