Your in-network dentist in Allentown says that in the midst of taking care of these responsibilities, don\u2019t forget about your oral health. Have you maximized your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgyoungdental.com\/new-patients.html\">dental insurance<\/a>? If not, then there\u2019s something you should do before January 1<sup>st<\/sup>!\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>The Real Value of Dental Insurance<\/h2>\r\nWhen you think of dental insurance, you may consider it as a means to respond to dental health issues like toothaches, cavities and broken teeth. While it definitely provides restorative benefits, the true value of dental insurance comes from its preventative features.\r\n\r\nBetter yet, insurance companies applaud the maintenance approach to dental wellness more so than the corrective mindset, which is demonstrated in the following breakdown of coverage:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Preventive Care <\/strong>\u2013 At a preventive care visit, you will usually have X-Ray photos taken, and you\u2019ll also receive a cleaning and examination. Your dental insurance will usually cover 90-100% of the costs.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Basic Care <\/strong>\u2013 For standard restorative procedures like root canals and cavity fillings, your out-of-pocket costs will usually range from 20-30%.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Major Care <\/strong>\u2013 If you have a tooth dislodged or need a crown replacement, it is considered to be major care, and your contribution can be as much as 50% of the overall cost.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe overall theme is obvious here \u2013 the greater cost-savings come with maintaining preventive care visits.\r\n<h2>The Long-Term Benefits of Preventive Care<\/h2>\r\nYou should visit your dentist every six months to receive a cleaning, check-up and X-Rays. Along with saving you money, attending preventive care visits increase the likelihood that you\u2019ll maintain all your teeth, won\u2019t have to endure painful decay, and it has a positive impact on your overall health.\r\n\r\nThat\u2019s because your mouth is the window into the rest of your body\u2019s wellness. So when you maintain excellent oral health, you can better prevent issues like heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer\u2019s disease and several different forms of cancer.\r\n<h2>Dental Insurance \u2013 Use It or Lose It!<\/h2>\r\nA final perk of taking advantage of semi-annual visits to your dentist is that it allows you to get more from your dental insurance. For most carriers, at the start of the year, your benefits will renew. That means the current coverage you\u2019ve paid monthly premiums to maintain will be lost, which amounts to money wasted.\r\n\r\nOne way to offset that is to reach out to your family dentist in Allentown to schedule a visit today. Thus, you\u2019ll know what the status of your oral health is, and you\u2019ll enjoy a healthier and cleaner mouth, teeth and gums!\r\n\r\n<strong>About the Author<\/strong>\r\n\r\nDr. Bradford G.
