Never had to pay a dime under basic dental insurance. And they did panoramic for free on first visit in addition to X-rays just so they didn’t miss something with wisdom teeth. Most insurances cover biannual cleaning and annual X-rays.

Good to know. That's always what happened for me before, unless I had a cavity, or I have been charged for a portion of the x-rays. Getting charged so much extra for a basic visit shocked me. But then, my eye Dr now splits my visits between annual eye testing and the eye exam, so I get charged 2 copays. I was starting to think maybe this is just the new normal and how businesses are working to make more money from basic visits.
