INABILITYTO ROLL OVER In addition to using your yearly maximum, it’s important to note that any unused benefits will not roll over into the new year. Many people make the mistake of thinking the less they use one year, the more they can use the next, but that’s not true. It’s crucial to take advantage of all of your insurance benefits each year to receive the most out of what you’re paying for.

A person who puts off going to the dentist increases the risk of worsening oral problems, which can lead to expensive fixes.The more often you have your teeth checked, the less you’ll have to worry about any dental issues throughout the year. If you don’t have an appointment scheduled for the fall just yet, give SouthWindsor Smiles a call to speak to one of our team members today! We’ll make sure you’re all set up and ready to greet the holidays and 2020 with a bright smile.

During the fall, SouthWindsor Smiles sees an influx of patients scheduling appointments before the year ends. Many people want to ensure they have a bright smile before the holidays hit, and no one wants to be worried about their smile during the middle of a Christmas party or family gathering. Aside from ensuring you have a smile you’re proud of, you should consider getting an appointment scheduled in the next few months for a few other significant reasons. UNUSED INSURANCE BENEFITS Typically, dental insurance gives beneficiaries yearly maximums that only work within a given calendar year.This means that any benefits you might have through your insurance may expire once December comes to a close. Dental insurance usually has around $1,000 available for use; keep in mind that if your expenses exceed the amount, you will have to pay out of pocket. If you’re unsure how much you’ve used this year, reach out to your dentist for thorough records of your visits.

A Veggie Skeleton

Those who eat paleo may struggle to find a Halloween treat suitable to their diet. But no matter what your dietary restrictions are, everyone can enjoy some raw veggies with a healthy dip. Here are some tips for constructing your very own veggie skeleton — a spooky twist on a time- tested treat. FORTHE HEAD Your favorite paleo-friendly dip makes a great canvas for a face. Pour it into a bowl and build features on top using different veggies. FORTHE RIBCAGE Sliced cucumbers make for great vertebrae, and bell pepper slivers can be used to simulate ribs. Alternate between the two to give your skeleton some backbone. FORTHE ARMS AND LEGS Any long and straight vegetable will do the trick here. If you want to be anatomically accurate, consider using some spherical vegetables for joints.

Don’t be afraid to get creative and wacky with your veggie skeleton.The whole point, after all, is to have some fun and give people a reason to smile.
