Hi, I am seventeen and will be working as a receptionist at a Dental office on the weekends and a few hours during the week.  I would like to know how dental insurance is different from medical insurance.   I was told that part of my job would be related to making follow up calls to the insurance companies regarding claims premium due.  I know they are going to train me and I will not be doing that right off,  but I would love to have information so I know what they are talking about.

So I am looking to get an individual dental plan.  I do not get dental offer to me at my job so I have to buy it on my own.  I never had to buy insurance before so can I do so directly?  How much does having to get dental insurance on your own cost?  I know that when I did get it though a job it was pretty costly.  Something like 60.00 a month  and my share of cost was 20.00 of it.
