Whether you need to have your teeth and gums examined for significant\nissues or you need to have them cleaned of any plaque or tartar, dental\ninsurance benefits often make the whole process more affordable for you and\nyour family. However, there are many people who don\u2019t even think twice about\ntheir benefits until it\u2019s already too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Wylie Family Dentistry wants you to send all of its patients an insurance reminder! After all, benefits that go unused is money left on the table. In this newsletter, we\u2019ll explain how you can maximize your benefits and why routine dental care matters in the long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Benefits are Truly \u201cUse It or Lose It\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you purchase dental insurance or you use it through\nyour employer, you have to keep in mind that your benefits likely won\u2019t carry\nover into the next year. Instead, they will expire, allowing any money you put\ntowards that insurance to go to waste. While you should always check the\ndetails of your plan first, it\u2019s more than likely that your benefits will\nexpire on <strong>January 1st, 2020.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Wylie Family Dentistry, we offer many in-network plans\nfrom most major dental insurance companies. The last thing we want to do is\nleave you and your family out to dry when it comes to dental benefits. That\u2019s\nwhy we\u2019re here to answer your questions and get you the treatments that you\nneed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Routine Prevention is Crucial<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Combined with daily brushing and flossing, routine checkups\nand cleanings are one of the most effective solutions for preventing serious dental\nissues. Whether you want to keep your smile free of tooth decay, gum disease\nand oral infections or you want to avoid bouts of dental discomfort, routine\ncheckups and cleanings play a major role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you happen to grind your teeth at night and\nyour enamel and jaw joints are suffering as a result, a checkup gives Dr.\nMorton a chance to address it and prevent your teeth from chipping and\/or\ncracking. With detailed cleanings, we can remove harmful plaque and tartar, the\nlatter of which can only be safely removed by a dentist. Both preventive\ntreatments dramatically reduce your risk of experiencing a dental emergency,\ndecrease your time spent in the dental chair instead of at home with the\nfamily, and lower overall healthcare costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet Debbie, Your Insurance Coordinator!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wyliefamilydentistry.com\/blog\/2019\/11\/18\/insurance-benefits\/\" class=\"block-image-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wyliefamilydentistry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/team-deborah.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42\" width=\"217\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wyliefamilydentistry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/team-deborah.jpg 351w, https:\/\/www.wyliefamilydentistry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/team-deborah-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wyliefamilydentistry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/team-deborah-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 217px) 100vw, 217px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a 2017 dental research study conducted by\nLincoln Financial Group, one in four employees who have dental insurance say\nthey haven\u2019t been to the dentist in the past 12 months for regular checkups and\nroutine cleanings.
