Are You Using Your Dental Insurance?

Dental insurance

Many people with dental insurance aren’t fully utilizing it, which can lead to poor oral health and, consequently, negative impacts on overall well-being. A study published in BMC Public Health found that individuals without proper health insurance coverage were more likely to skip dental visits, which can ultimately result in more severe dental issues that are costly and time-consuming to treat. Ensuring you’re using your dental insurance effectively can help you avoid these problems.

Make Dental Insurance Work for You

At Optimal Dental Health, we assist patients with completing insurance paperwork and making the claims process as seamless as possible. Our team will guide you through what’s covered, what isn’t, and help you understand how to complete your claims so that you get reimbursed promptly.

While dental care is not routinely included in many health insurance policies, it is often available as an optional extra at an additional cost. It’s usually more cost-effective to add dental coverage to a corporate policy rather than a personal one. That said, most medical policies will still cover specific procedures like the removal of wisdom teeth.
