Dental Insurance Benefits for 2024 Expire Soon!

Book your check-up now!

As the end of the year approaches, it’s important to take care of your dental health, especially if you haven’t yet used your bi-annual dental insurance benefits. Many insurance plans offer coverage for two cleanings per year, and these benefits typically don’t roll over to the next year, so you don’t want to miss out! By scheduling your check-up now, you can take full advantage of what your insurance covers while ensuring your teeth stay healthy and strong.

The Importance of Regular Dental Check-Ups

Maintaining regular dental check-ups is key to preventing serious dental issues down the road. Research shows that people who visit the dentist at least twice a year are less likely to experience tooth decay, gum disease, and more serious oral health problems. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 26% of adults in the U.S. have untreated tooth decay, a statistic that rises dramatically among those who don’t get routine check-ups. Regular dental visits help catch problems early, which can prevent the need for costly procedures such as root canals, crowns, or extractions.

Beyond that, routine cleanings help keep your teeth bright and fresh by removing plaque, tartar, and stains that can’t be addressed by brushing and flossing alone. This not only improves your dental health but also helps you maintain a confident, radiant smile.

What to Expect During Your Visit

At Dr. E’s office, we make sure every patient feels comfortable and informed throughout their visit. When you come in for a check-up, you can expect:

1. A Full Dental Exam: Dr. E will check for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other potential issues. Regular exams can detect problems early, often before you experience any symptoms.
2. X-Rays (If Necessary): X-rays allow Dr. E to assess what’s happening below the surface, such as bone loss, impacted teeth, or deep cavities. These images are key to catching issues that aren’t visible during the physical exam.
3. Thorough Cleaning: Your dental hygienist will remove plaque and tartar, polish your teeth, and floss between them to remove debris. These cleanings are essential for preventing gum disease, which affects 47% of adults aged 30 and over, according to the ADA.
4. Personalized Dental Advice: Dr. E and her team will provide tips and advice on maintaining good oral hygiene at home. You’ll learn the best practices for brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash to prevent future dental problems.
