It’s that time of year again—the first quarter of school is complete, and before you know it, the holidays will be here. We understand the end of the year can be a stressful, but your child’s dental care shouldn’t be! Now is the perfect time to remind our patient families to ‘use it or lose it’ before the year ends.
What does “use it or lose it” mean?
Typically, at the end of each year, any unused dental benefits are wiped away, and your new insurance benefits kick in. This means you could be leaving hundreds of dollars on the table! Here are a few ways to make the most of your family’s dental benefits before they expire.
How to use your child’s dental benefits before they expire:
Take Advantage of Two Cleanings Per Year
Most dental insurance plans cover two cleanings annually. If your child hasn’t had their second cleaning yet, don’t miss out—it won’t roll over into the new year. Preventative care saves money and hassle down the road.
Don’t Delay Unscheduled Treatment
If your child has been recommended for a filling or any other treatment, don’t wait! Treating a simple cavity now can prevent the need for a crown or even tooth extraction later.
