\"WomanMany people are pinching pennies right now. As a result, visiting a dentist isn\u2019t at the top of most people\u2019s priority lists. If you\u2019ve been putting off seeing your dentist because money is tight, your good intentions are increasing your risk of costly dental treatments. You don\u2019t have to take the risk if you have dental insurance. Your policy gives you access to the affordable services you need to preserve your smile, but time is running out to use your coverage. Your benefits will expire at the end of the year. Here\u2019s why now\u2019s the perfect time to visit your dentist to reduce your long-term oral health expenses.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

Stop Common Dental Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know 91% of adults have cavities and 50% of Americans have gum disease? Both are leading causes of tooth loss, despite being preventable. Besides brushing and flossing, the American Dental Association recommends a cleaning and checkup every 6 months to keep cavities and gum disease at bay. Research has found that every $1 spent on prevention can save up to $50 on restorative and emergency services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to skip your semi-annual appointments if you\u2019re cutting back your expenses. Paying your monthly premiums allows you to benefit from 100% preventive coverage. You can get the cleanings and checkups you need after a copayment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid Dental Emergencies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1 in 6 Americans has a dental emergency annually, many of which result from underlying problems, like an infected tooth. If you delay dental work because you\u2019re concerned about the cost, you\u2019re opening the door for a dental emergency. The longer you wait to have the issue treated, the more you’re going to have to pay later. Not to mention, you might lose your tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to stress about a large bill because your dental insurance<\/a> covers 80% of the expense for common minor restorative procedures, so you can treat the issue early. If you wait too long, your insurance will only cover 50% of major restorative treatments, so you\u2019ll pay more out-of-pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Insurance Doesn\u2019t Last Forever<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dental benefits will reset at the end of the year, and you\u2019ll lose anything you haven\u2019t used. Less than 3% of Americans meet or exceed their annual limits, which means you could throw hundreds to thousands of dollars down the drain. Not to mention, you won\u2019t be reimbursed for your premiums or deductibles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t throw money away. Your dentist will help you maximize your dental insurance to achieve your best smile. You\u2019ll invest in your oral health and have fewer dental bills down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
