There’s Still Time to Schedule a Dental Cleaning in 2015

November 3, 2015

Maximize your dental insurance benefits by getting a cleaning before the year is over.

There’s Still Time to Schedule a Dental Cleaning in 2015Have you used up your dental benefits for 2015 yet? There’s still time to get the dental care you need and have it count towards your 2015 coverage.

Now you may be wondering…

…how do I know if I’ve used up my coverage?

Obviously, you’ll have to investigate the details of your dental plan to get a complete answer to this question. However, for starters you can ask yourself whether you (and your spouse and dependents if covered) have gotten your annual dental exam and cleaning. Absolutely every dental insurance plan in existence covers at least one annual cleaning and sometimes two cleanings. After all, professional cleanings are a cornerstone of good oral health.

So, if you have not had your cleaning yet, you need to contact California Dental Group. With seven locations in the LA area we are sure to be able to get you in for a cleaning at a time and place that works for you.

Why the Smart Money is on Getting a Dental Cleaning Now

You Already Paid for It: Chances are, you’ve already paid enough in monthly premiums this year to pay for a dental cleaning. If you don’t get your cleaning or take any other benefits, you’re basically just giving the insurance company that money for free. Why would you do that when dental cleaning appointments are so quick, convenient, and beneficial?

Skipping Your Cleaning Could Cost You More Later: Routine dental cleanings do much more than give your teeth that squeaky-clean fresh-from-the-dentist feeling. They also provide a very important opportunity for the dentist to look over your teeth and gums and make sure they are healthy. If you don’t get your cleaning this year, you risk cavities, gum disease, or even oral cancer being allowed to progress undetected and untreated. Needless to say a treatment for any of these problems will cost more than a dental cleaning.

Need More Dental Services?

If you suspect you might need something more than a simple dental cleaning—such as a filling, a new crown, or a root canal—you should also consider making an appointment before the year is out.

Why?

Because if you’ve already had any dental care this year, you may have paid a significant portion of your deductible already. If you wait until next year to get your restorative dental work, you’ll be starting over at $0 and your care could actually cost you more out of pocket than if you made your appointment right now.

Remember, we are always here to help at California Dental Group. We can even help you figure out what services are covered under your insurance plan if you call us now.
