Does anyone have any recommendations for dental insurance, preferably a reliable company? I've tried looking it up online and a lot of them are dental plans and not dental insurance. Either that or I can't get through the line because they are always "busy assisting other customers." I've tried Metlife but they aren't currently providing dental insurance. They refered me to Safeguard but is that reliable? I'm looking for insurance that cover major procedures such as scaling and root planning and gum surgery. I'm living in California, personal experience will be appreciated. Yes, Safeguard is a part of Metlife. But when I called Metlife to ask if I can get Safeguard dental insurance through Metlife or Safeguard itself, they said I can't. Don't know what they are talking about. Apparently, Metlife have a customer line for dental but they don't provide dental insurance, makes no sense.
