What do dentists and hygienists deduce of a merciful who doesn't own dental insurance?

I got a filling done today, and I don`t know it was just the dental practice I shift to, but I felt like everyone be smirking or looking down on me since I don't have dental insurance. I'm in grad university full time & work part time, so I don't have dental insurance, but I compensated the bill in full & everything today. Everytime I was asked in the order of insurance & I said I don't have any, I felt close to the girls in the office be shooting looks at each other.

They don't want to deal with insurance, too much trouble. I'd be surprised if they care.

don't say you don't have insurance,say-so you are paying cash or charging it.
I think it be just the practice you went to.
I don't hand over a hoot whether someone has insurance or not, as long as they pay the bill. Money is money.
In certainty I suggest to some patients with good teeth that fairly than having dental insurance, they would be better putting that same money into a bank vindication in case of emergency, and if they don't use it, then at Xmas each year they might hold some play money.
I worked will patients who didn't have ins. and not adjectives are like you. I would say 60% of population with or without ins. do not money there balance. I am sure they be showing their concern more than they should have. I am sure after they see that your going to pay they will show their appreciation for a long-suffering like you.
