The Cost of Going Without A+ Family’s Dental Benefits Plan Can Save Hundreds

Regular visits to the dentist do more than ensure you have straight, shiny teeth. Research suggests your oral health is a systemic part of your overall health, meaning what happens in your mouth impacts the rest of your body. When you visit the dentist less frequently, you miss the opportunity for early treatment. This can be alarming news for the 40 percent of Americans who don’t have dental insurance. Without dental benefits to help cover costs, even regular cleanings can strain a tight budget. Many Americans choose to avoid dental care altogether, hoping to save costs, but this causes more trouble down the road. Studies have found that individuals who don’t have dental benefits report increased rates of other illnesses, including diabetes (29

percent), osteoporosis (50 percent), and heart disease (67 percent).
