Use Your Houston Dental Insurance Before It’s Gone

2017 is coming to an end, which means that your insurance will be renewing at the beginning of the year. If you have dental needs, like cavities, then you need to make sure you get those taken care of before your insurance funds run out.

Dental insurance does not roll over, so not using all of your dental insurance means that you may end up paying more out of pocket the following year. Brushing twice per day and flossing and rinsing every day is pivotal for keeping your mouth clean, but there are several other ways to keep your oral health pristine.

Here are some of the ways to ensure your use your dental insurance wisely and maintain your oral health:

• DENTAL CLEANING: A dental cleaning should be done every six months. This helps our dentists thoroughly clean your teeth and gums by removing plaque buildup. It is also an opportunity to find out precisely where your dental health stands. If you have cavities or possible gum disease, our dentists can inform you of how to best control or take care of the issues.
• CAVITIES: Dental fillings are the best way to preserve teeth for the long term. These are relatively inexpensive procedures where our Houston dentist can remove the cavity and fill it with a dental filling. A dental filling is made of composite resin, which is extremely durable and matches the color of your teeth, making them practically unnoticeable.
• MAJOR DENTAL PROCEDURES: If you suffer from tooth decay or have a broken or missing tooth, then this could lead to a major dental procedure like a root canal or a dental implant. Taking care of these issues can be expensive, which is why dental insurance coverage is essential. Dental insurance helps cover much of the cost so you can protect your teeth without a big financial burden.
