\"DentalBelieve it or not, the end of the year is almost here. As you shop for the perfect gifts and decorate for the holidays, the last thing on your mind is your dental insurance. Although you\u2019ll be busier over the next few weeks, it\u2019s best to prioritize a visit with your dentist in North Raleigh before the year ends. When the clock strikes midnight on New Year\u2019s Eve, you\u2019re going to lose any dental benefits<\/a> you haven\u2019t used. Don\u2019t throw money down the drain. Here are 5 tips to maximize your policy before it expires.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Focus on prevention.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dentistry focuses on prevention because it stops common oral health issues from occurring. Not only does this preserve your teeth and gums, but it also lowers your overall oral health expenses. In fact, every $1 spent on prevention can save you as much as $50 on restorative services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By paying your monthly premium, you have access to 100% preventive coverage, allowing you to see your dentist in Raleigh every 6 months for a cleaning and checkup. If you haven\u2019t been to your dentist twice this year, don\u2019t lose your second hygiene visit. You can still schedule an appointment, even if it hasn\u2019t been half a year since your last appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Treat dental problems quickly.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s best to treat any dental issues quickly to prevent them from worsening. If you\u2019re concerned about the cost, you don\u2019t have anything to fear. After reaching your deductible, your dental insurance can be used to offset the fees for certain treatments, like fillings, tooth extractions, and root canals. Every policy differs, but most plans cover 50% to 80% of the expense until hitting your annual limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Choose the right dentist.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dental insurance recommends you choose a dentist in your network because they have pre-negotiated rates. You can still use your insurance at any dental practice that accepts your plan, but you\u2019ll need to pay the difference between the office fees and your insurance\u2019s allowable amounts. You don\u2019t need to Google, \u201cdentist near me.\u201d Instead, you can choose any dentist that works with your policy to enjoy personalized treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Don\u2019t let your coverage expire.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dental insurance expires at the end of the year. Anything you don\u2019t use won\u2019t carry over into 2021. In addition, you aren\u2019t reimbursed for any premiums or deductibles. On average, less than 3% of Americans meet their annual limit, so you likely have several benefits you\u2019re about to lose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Schedule an appointment today.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t had your second hygiene visit or have other benefits that are about to expire, don\u2019t wait until it\u2019s too late. Contact your dentist right away to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
