Your dental benefits are paid for by you in monthly
increments. But at the end of the year, the benefits you have already paid for
will go away if you have not used them. Millions of dollars every year go
unspent because individuals may not know exactly what their plan covers. Here
are 4 ways you may be able to use your dental benefits.
1.
Preventive services. Oral health screenings and
other preventative services can help ensure your smile will last a lifetime.
2.
Restorative procedures. It is critical to
understand your benefits. If you have missing teeth and you have been holding
off getting them fixed, now may be your chance. Many times fillings are paid at
a higher percentage, so getting teeth cared for early on saves you
significantly.
3.
A
periodontal laser procedure can ensure your gums are healthy. When you have
periodontal disease or gingivitis, the bacteria build and eventually your gums
begin to pull away from your teeth causing you to have bleeding and puffy tissue,
and eventually missing teeth.
4.
Gum graft surgery may be a dental treatment you
thought was out of your reach, but now with your dental benefits soon expiring
and your new benefits beginning, it may be the perfect time to take advantage
of procedures that can improve your smile.
