Use Your Dental Benefits Before the Year Is Over

The end of November isn’t that far away, and after that 2014 is just around the corner. That doesn’t just mean that it’s time to replace your calendar. It will also mean a change in your dental benefits.

Right now, if you’ve paid your deductible for the year and you still have some of your yearly maximum left, you’re insurance company will help you pay for select dental services. At the beginning of 2014, though, you’ll be looking at a new deductible and a fresh yearly maximum. You may also see changes in your premiums and co-pays.

But between now and the end of the year, you can take full benefit of your dental benefits as they currently are, getting the most out of what’s left. For instance, maybe you already know that you need general or restorative help. Or maybe you just need to schedule your second checkup for the year.

Dr. Folck and Dr. Santos recommend that all of their Virginia Beach patients come in twice a year for a regular exam and cleaning. Why are regular checkups so important? Because the buildup of plaque and bacteria around the teeth and gums is what causes two of the most common oral health problems—gum disease and tooth decay.
