Your oral health is probably the last thing on your mind; however, now is the time to visit your dentist. As the end of the year quickly approaches, your dental insurance is about to expire. Although your schedule may be busy, here\u2019s why you need to visit your dentist before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest in a Healthy Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think your toothbrush and floss are enough to keep\nyour teeth and gums healthy, you might be shocked to learn it\u2019s only half the\ncare your smile needs. The American Dental Association recommends everyone visit\ntheir dentist twice a year for a cleaning and checkup, even if you don\u2019t have\nany current oral health concerns. Unfortunately, one-third of adults don\u2019t\nfollow this advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re among those who haven\u2019t been to the dentist\nrecently, you may think you\u2019re saving money, but you\u2019re actually putting your\nsmile at risk. Routine cleanings and checkups keep your teeth and gums healthy\nto lower your overall dental expenses. In fact, every $1 spent on prevention\ncan save you $8 to $50 on restorative or emergency services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re worried about a large bill, you have nothing to\nfear because you have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capronparkdental.com\/dental-insurance.html\">dental insurance<\/a>.\nYou can enjoy the preventive services you need for little to no cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Affordable Dental Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every month, you pay your premium for your dental policy, which\ngives you access to comprehensive coverage for your specific needs. You\u2019re also\ngiven a yearly allowance to use toward restorative services after paying your\nannual deductible. Depending on your specific policy, your benefits can\ninclude:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>100% preventive services, like cleanings and\ncheckups.<\/li><li>80% minor restorative services, such as\nfillings.<\/li><li>50% major restorative services, like root canals\nor dentures.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, your dental benefits don\u2019t last forever. Your\npolicy expires at the end of the year. If you don\u2019t use all your coverage, you aren\u2019t\nreimbursed for any unused portion. With less than 3% of Americans meeting or\nexceeding their annual benefits, you probably still have coverage remaining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maximize Your Dental Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now is the time to schedule an appointment with your dentist\nto avoid losing what you\u2019ve paid for. It\u2019s often recommended you choose a\ndentist who is in your network because they have pre-negotiated rates with your\ninsurance carrier, but you can also visit an out-of-network location. No matter\nwho you choose, they will work on your behalf with your insurance company to maximize\nyour dental benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the next few months will be busy, take the time to visit\nyour dentist.
