Put your yearly maximum to good use

This benefit renews annually and doesn\u2019t roll over. You can\u2019t predict how you might need that allowance next year, so taking care of your dental health today is a smart move.<\/p>\n

\nEvery new year brings a renewed deductible. This is the amount you pay before the insurance company will start covering dental procedures. Usually it\u2019s around 50 dollars. If you\u2019ve already paid your yearly deductible, why not make the most of what you\u2019ve invested?<\/p>\n
\nInsurance premiums or co-pays can increase from year to year. If you know you should make an appointment, procrastination could be a costly gamble. Visiting in the next few months means knowing you\u2019ll get this year\u2019s benefits for this year\u2019s treatment.<\/p>\n
\nScheduling dental care around your life is better than disrupting it with an urgent visit to the dentist. That\u2019s never truer than during the holidays. If you keep up with routine maintenance, chances are you\u2019ll have fewer causes to call Dr. Mays for an emergency appointment.<\/p>\n
