The year has a way of flying by. Before you know it, the holidays are here, and the last thing you’re thinking about is dental insurance. There are good reasons to do just that, though. Between the food, family, and festivities this season brings, take a moment to consider how you can make the most of your benefits before year’s end.
Here are a few reasons making that dental appointment now can really pay off.
Yearly maximum
An insurance company will pay for a certain amount of your dental work every year. This set allowance renews annually, so even if you don’t use it all, it won’t be there next year.
Deductible
The new year comes with a renewed deductible. This amount is usually around 50 dollars, and insured patients must pay it before an insurance company will begin covering procedures. If you’ve already paid this year’s deductible, make the most of your investment by scheduling treatment now.
Insurance fees
You never know what next year’s premiums or co-pays might be. Visiting in the next month ensures you’ll pay this year’s fees.
Emergencies
Nobody wants sudden oral problems to overshadow their holiday cheer. Visiting your dentist now means reducing the risk of a dental emergency this season.
Thanksgiving’s here, and Christmas is on the way. But it’s not too late to make good use of your dental insurance before the year’s over. Schedule a dental visit— it’ll benefit your health and your budget.
