1. Make a checklist. Start with the basics — make a list of preventive services you need including a cleaning and checkup. If you know you’ll need additional dental work, like fillings or crowns, pencil those procedures in too. If you have pain, that’s a pretty good indicator that you’ll need more that just preventive treatment. But, don’t worry. Most dental procedures are painless in today’s day and age!
2. Study your coverage. Once you know what procedures you need, familiarize yourself with dental insurance basics. What’s your deductible? What about your annual maximum? Additionally, it’s helpful to know that most plans cover a percentage of procedures up to a specific dollar amount. Review your dental benefits so you know what’s covered.
