Get Insurance Aware: 3 Benefits to Benefits

June is bustling, filled to the brim with some of our favorite holidays: National Smile Month, Men’s Health Month, Employee Wellness Month, and Father’s Day. Our favorite celebration this month is probably a day you’ve never heard of – National Insurance Awareness Day is June 28^th.

Excited yet? Before you hit the back button on your browser, take a few minutes to become informed about insurance.

Why you should literally put your money where your mouth is:

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Most types of policies, like health insurance or car insurance, focus on the worst-case scenario. It’s hard to imagine your auto insurance covering routine maintenance, such as an oil change.

Contrarily, dental plans focus on preventive care. Here’s why: most dental problems and diseases are nearly 100% preventable. Regular check-ups allow your dentist to check for early signs of more serious problems. Finally, it’s important to remember that at-home oral hygiene habits are just as important as regular check-ups.

Anything can happen.

While it’s true dental insurance focuses on preventive services, emergencies can happen. You never know when a chipped tooth will occur. There are many types of dental plans to fit you, your lifestyle, and your budget.

A penny saved is a penny earned.

Would you rather pay $125 for a dental cleaning or $0? We’re fairly confident we can guess your answer. Many dental plans encourage preventive care by covering 100% of the costs of dental exams, cleanings, X-rays, sealants, and fluoride treatments. Check your dental plan for benefit details. 

Pat yourself on the back – you’re officially dental insurance aware!
