Summer is here, which means we’re halfway through the year, and now is a great time to see if you’re taking full advantage of your dental benefits and schedule a mid-year dental cleaning. It’s also an opportunity to brush up on preventive care, such as cleanings, X-rays, and fluoride treatment.

Most TruAssure plans cover dental check-ups twice yearly, so a mid-year cleaning is a perfect way to maximize your dental benefits.

Early detection means more savings down the road

Visiting the dentist regularly can help assess and identify potential oral health problems early on. Your dentist can detect more than 120 health conditions – including heart disease, diabetes, and oral cancer.

Early detection and treatment can prevent more severe oral and overall health complications and help avoid additional treatment costs.

Preventive care goes a long way

Preventive care helps avoid issues that could become more significant problems but can also help save money if those major problems require costly treatment and procedures.

A mid-year dental visit allows you to get necessary preventive care for keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Cleanings remove plaque and tartar, which can build up on your teeth and lead to gum disease. X-rays can help your dentist detect any problems with your teeth or gums that you may not see.

Maximizing coverage brings peace of mind

One of the most significant benefits of regular dental visits is the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your teeth and gums are healthy. 89% of adults with dental coverage say it provides them peace of mind and confidence, as they no longer worry about dental emergencies or the cost of maintaining a healthy smile.¹

When you have a dental problem, concentrating on anything else can be challenging. You may be worried about the pain, the cost of treatment, and how it will affect your appearance.

Maximizing your dental benefits and taking advantage of twice-yearly cleanings can help you avoid more serious complications while helping maintain those pearly whites. As we mark the halfway point of the year, maximize your dental benefits by scheduling your next checkup!
