From holidays to work projects to your child\u2019s classroom parties\nand your own weight loss goals, it\u2019s likely your plans for improving your oral\nhealth aren\u2019t sitting too high on your end-of-the-year priority list. But a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.palmbeachdentalexcellence.com\/insurance-information.html\">dentist\nin West Palm Beach<\/a> explains why it should be, especially if you don\u2019t want\nto be one of the millions of people who lose hundreds, if not thousands, in unused\ndental benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If You Don\u2019t Use It, You Lose It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How much have you accrued toward your deductible this year?\nIs it $5, $250, or maybe $500? No matter the number, the moment you say goodbye\nto 2019 and hello to 2020, your deductible, annual maximum, and any other\nunused benefits disappear. If you\u2019re unsure what that means, when you look at\nyour coverage on January 1, you\u2019ll see $0.00 next to your deductible and yearly\nmaximum. Why? Because dental benefits don\u2019t roll over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental insurance companies bank on individuals not using all\ntheir dental benefits, which is why billions are lost and returned to the insurance\ncompanies each year! To prevent this from happening to you, here are a few\nthings you should consider before the year is up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Forget Your Second Checkup and Cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you made sure to schedule a regular dental appointment earlier in the year but haven\u2019t gotten around to your second visit. This is a problem. Most insurance companies generate their policies around preventive care. They want patients to seek treatment before problems arise, which is why in most situations, general checkups and cleanings with your West Palm Beach dentist are covered at 100%. These regular visits to your dentist\u2019s office can do several things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Allow you to keep your teeth and gums clean now\ninstead of waiting until you can afford it later<\/li><li>Prevent problems from developing in the future<\/li><li>Make it possible for you to pay almost nothing\nfor quality dental care<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Those three reasons should be enough to have you dialing the\nphone to schedule your second appointment right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Let Your Deductible Go to Waste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist just told you that you need a dental crown.\nWhile this might not be the most exciting news, if you\u2019ve met your deductible,\nit is your opportunity to improve your oral health and save money. How is that\npossible? Because once you\u2019ve met your deductible, your insurance company pays\nmore of the bill. That means, you can get more expensive treatments and\nprocedures and keep more money in your wallet! Otherwise, if you wait until\n2020, not only will you start from the beginning to reach your deductible,\nagain, but as a result, you\u2019ll pay more for the procedure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many people forgoing their dental insurance benefits\neach year, don\u2019t allow yourself to fall into the same trap. Make your oral\nhealth a priority, get the most out of the coverage you\u2019re already paying for,\nand save your money. Maybe in 2020, you can spend that cash on a boat you\u2019ve\nalways wanted instead of a costly dental procedure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<br><\/strong>Dr. Mihran Asinmaz and his team want you to achieve a happy, healthy smile.
