The Bad

  • Only Available Through Employers

Only Available Through Employers

Unfortunately, Principal’s dental plans are only available through employers. If you’re an independent shopper, you’ll need to look at other companies. If you’re an employer, however, Principal’s dental plans and other services are worth investigating further.
