Search for “ dental insurance 101” a fair amount of information is available from the insurance carriers perspective. Then start perusing the forums on dentaltown to get a providers perspective, also become familiar with the abbreviations hmo, ppo and ffs as each have their unique issues when it comes to dental insurance.

We cover this in Becoming a Student Doctor, with more focus on the issues of access and equity. But we discuss a bit about private practice vs hospital. A lot of our resources are applicable interprofessionally.
Here's one resource that may be a bit dated, but hits highlights you will hear about.
Message me if you are interested.
