Most dental plans expire at the end of the year and then renew in January. Any entitled benefits that you haven’t used are lost forever. Your dentist in Wilmington, DE, recommends taking advantage of the remaining days of the year and whatever is left on your insurance to schedule an appointment.
There are many reasons to see the dentist—not just exams and teeth cleanings. Let’s explore how to use your remaining benefits before the end of the year.
Using Your Dental Insurance in Wilmington, DE
Preventive Checkups and Teeth Cleanings
It would be best to visit the dentist twice yearly for dental exams and teeth cleanings. If you have only seen us once, why not schedule your final visit for the year today?
By using your remaining benefits now, you’ll start the new year with a clean bill of dental health. Additionally, if an oral health issue is uncovered during this final yearly visit, you can begin treatment with full benefits at the start of the new year.
Restorative Dentistry
If you have a broken or damaged tooth/restoration, you might use your remaining benefits to see the dentist for a new restoration, restoration repair, or replacement. Waiting until January leaves the tooth vulnerable to infection.
Consulting with Your Dentist
You may also use your remaining benefits to consult with your dentist on oral health changes, including tooth sensitivity, gum irritation, or a sore that is not healing. If your dentist finds an underlying issue, we can treat it now and into the new year when benefits renew.
