There’s no doubt about it: holiday expenses can really add up. Between gifts, travel, and jam-packed schedules, the last thing you’ll want to do is book your family’s dental appointments. But what if we told you there was a way to save money this year, and it began by calling Beautiful Smiles Family Dental Center?
Very few people with dental plans reach or exceed their plan’s annual maximum, leaving the vast majority sitting on unused dental benefits. As soon as the clock strikes midnight on December 31st, you can kiss all your unused dental benefits goodbye! While it may be a hectic time of year, using your benefits now could actually save you money and a headache down the road. Here are four reasons you should use them before you lose them:
Dental problems will only get worse
Postponing your dental appointments can only make matters worse and lead to more extensive and expensive treatment! A recent study suggests that a simple annual cleaning is crucial for identifying future problems such as gum disease, cavities, and even oral cancer. Although you may not have pressing issues now, basic preventative care is an excellent way to use your benefits and will help you achieve and maintain a healthy set of teeth and gums!
Create a timely strategy to save big
If you require a procedure involving multiple visits, getting started at the end of the year is a great strategy! To help maximize your benefits, your dentist can split the treatment over this year and next, allowing you to take advantage of your replenished funds and dramatically reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Be sure to discuss this possibility with your dentist!
You are paying, so don’t waste your money
A deductible is the amount of money you must pay to your dentist before your insurance kicks in. Come January 1st, you will need to pay the deductible again regardless of any unused benefits. If you’re not using your benefits but continuing to pay monthly premiums, the money is simply wasted. Remember, even if you don’t need any dental treatment, schedule a cleaning and let those benefits pay for your preventative health before your fees potentially increase and you have to dole out more cash!
Confidently enjoy your holidays
Last, but not least, using your benefits now means enjoying the holidays! Once the hustle and bustle of the season has died down, you can look forward to 2018, knowing you got the most out of your benefits and saved some money!
