Infographic: Cost comparison of dental insurance to everyday expenses

When comparing the cost of dental insurance to lifestyle bills, dental insurance suddenly becomes an affordable option, as the infographic shows.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) March 05, 2013

IHC Specialty Benefits, an Independence Holding Company entity, recently compiled statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor and the National Retail Federation to find out average costs for items Americans use every day and then ran a dental insurance quote on its owned website, dentalinsurance.org. The basic cost for preventive dental insurance for a 40 year old woman living in Dallas, Texas totaled approximately $13.56 per month, for a total of $162.72 for 12 months of coverage. Based on IHC Specialty Benefit’s findings, mobile phone services are nearly five times the cost of one year of dental insurance coverage over the same period of time.

Dental insurance has long been thought of as an “extra,” unnecessary type of insurance. The idea of spending hard-earned money on dental insurance could seem like a waste when other expenses seem like a larger priority. However, when comparing the actual cost of dental insurance to lifestyle bills like dry cleaning, the number of presents purchased over the holidays, eating out and even soda pop, dental insurance suddenly becomes an affordable option.
