USE IT OR LOSE IT 3 Ways to Use Your Benefits Before They Expire
3. Your New Year’s resolution is to take better care of your health.
Dental insurance is great. The many benefits of dental insurance mean you can maintain regular checkups, enjoy proper cleanings, and rest easy knowing you’re covered in the event of an emergency. What’s less great is the fact that those amazing benefits don’t roll over into the new year. After spending all year paying into your insurance, not using your benefits before they expire is like throwing all that money into the ocean. Here are a few reasons to make an appointment with your dentist before your 2018 benefits are gone for good. 1. There’s a major problem you’ve been putting off.
because your teeth are sensitive? Do you still have a gap in your smile from a childhood accident? Don’t go into 2019 with the same old problems. Instead, use your benefits to treat yourself to an improved, healthier smile. 2. You want to look your best for family gatherings during the holidays. Cosmetic work isn’t always covered by your dental insurance, but if it is or if you have a health savings account, then now is the time to spruce up your smile. One whitening treatment can remove years of stains from your teeth and brighten your whole appearance. Or maybe Invisalign is the answer you’re looking for. If your smile isn’t ready for those holiday selfies, talk to your dentist today and see how your dental benefits can help.
