End-of-Year Dental Benefits: Use ’em or Lose ’em!
Here are a few reasons why you should be proactive in maximizing your insurance coverage in 2021:
-Preventive Treatments: Most insurance plans offer two free appointments for preventive care, such as an exam and cleaning. If you haven’t fit in both checkups this year, you still have time to schedule the appointment.
-Yearly Maximum: It’s common for dental insurance plans to have a yearly maximum they are willing to pay within a calendar year. The specific amount varies, but it’s usually around $1,000 per person. If you need any restorative treatments, then it makes sense to take advantage of these unused benefits since they don’t roll over into the New Year.
-Monthly Premiums: You always have a monthly premium to pay, regardless of how much you are using the insurance plan. Don’t let those hard-earned dollars go to waste! Even if you don’t need dental treatments, it’s important to stay consistent with regular checkups.
-Healthy Smile: The foundation of a healthy smile that lasts for life is staying proactive with preventive dental services. At your regular cleanings, we will check the health of your teeth and gums. Then, we can offer recommendations if early signs of gum disease, cavities, or other dental problems are identified.
-Dental Problems: If you have any untreated dental issues right now, don’t delay the treatment that is needed. Waiting to talk to a dentist means that you are taking the risk of a bigger, more expensive treatment in the future. It’s easy to fix a small cavity right now – but if you leave it untreated, then it could turn into a root canal later.
