How to Choose a Dental Plan

If you have dental insurance through your employer -- or you can afford to purchase it for yourself -- it's best to choose a plan that covers the dental care you and your family will need now and in the future.

Most regular health insurance policies do not pay for the costs of routine vision care such as eye exams, corrective lenses, eyeglass frames, or contact lenses. Coverage (offered to less than 30% of employees) for such services is known as vision care insurance.
