Do you have dental insurance? If you do, don't let the monthly premium you pay go down the drain. Your dental insurance provides a benefit to you, but only if you use it.

Did you know that most dental insurance plans cover preventative care? That means when you visit the dentist for exams, cleanings, and routine x-rays there is no cost to you! That's right, you read that correctly: a dental exam and cleaning every six months with routine x-rays will cost you $0, typically! For children, there may even be coverage for sealants and fluoride included!

Why preventative care is important:

• Keeps your gums and teeth healthy
• Prevents cavities and disease
• Allows early diagnosis of cracks in teeth before a tooth breaks
• Allows for early diagnosis of fillings starting to break down in need of repair
• Screens for oral cancer
• Establishes a dental home in case of a dental emergency
