It is obvious that your dental plan is one that compensates the dentist very little. In other words, you or your employer pay a very low premium.
Let's use an example. The policy is now defunct, but Discount Tire used to fix flats for no charge. Even the most demanding customer would probably understand if they had to wait for that service until the store finished installing $1000 worth of tires for a paying customer.
In the same manner, some insurance (especially some medical plans) actually cause the provider to incur a loss when a patient shows up. Yes, it's better for the doctor (financially) if the patient never comes in. There are probably hundreds of people who wish to receive care for little or no fee, so the dentist or doctor must, of necessity, have a way of deciding how many of these patients he can absorb.
You would be wise to investigate the financial aspects of your plan. Also, unless your daughter has a political disease like AIDS, any health care provider is entitled to choose whether or not he wishes to treat her. Thus, your "discrimination" thought is difficult to understand.
