The team at Dental Mississauga would be happy to take the time to help you understand your dental benefits. In an effort to help you get the most out of your dental benefits, we’ve compiled the top reasons to use your dental benefits before the year is up.
1. Take Care of Small Problems Before They Get Bigger. By delaying dental treatment, you are risking more extensive and expensive treatment down the road. What may be a simple cavity now, could turn into a root canal later. Use your dental benefits to stay ahead of dental problems and have a healthy and happy smile for the holidays!
2. Try to Use Your Yearly Maximum Benefit
Depending on your specific benefit plan, you will have an annual maximum
amount, which more often than not does not roll over into the new year. If you need covered dental services and have unused benefits, you will want to use them up before the end of the year.
3. New Year Means a New Deductible
If your dental plan has an annual deductible, you will have to pay it again next year.
4. Covered Services
If you pay premiums for your dental insurance, you should be taking advantage of all covered services including exams, x-rays, cleanings, etc.
5. Make Your Appointment Sooner Rather than Later
As many patients rush to use up their benefits before the end of the year, appointment slots will fill up quickly. If you wait too long, you may not be able to get the appointment time you want.
