What The Heck Is A Delta Dentist?
A Delta Dentist is not a dentist that works for Delta airlines. (Perhaps more people would fly Delta if dental service was included in the ticket price). But seriously, a Delta Dentist is the name for any dentist that accepts any of the Delta companies offering dental insurance. For example, my dentist happens to be a Delta Dental of Pennsylvania dentist, because we both happen to live in Pennsylvania. There is also a Delta of California and Delta Dental Insurance Company that serves all of the other American states.

This is where Delta comes in to fill in this needed gap in health coverage for modern Americans. They are about the most popular dental insurance company (or trio of companies, technically) in America, with over 50 million customers There are many choices in plans, including special offers for seniors and pre-paid dental insurance plans. It really pays for any dentist to become a Delta dentist.
