Get Insurance Aware: 3 Benefits to Benefits

*Updated April 2021

June is filled 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, which falls on June 28. 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 care. 

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. The reason for that is 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 or broken jaw will strike. There are many types of dental plans to fit you, your lifestyle, and your budget. Shop around for a plan that’s perfect for you.

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. Most dental plans encourage preventive care by covering 100% of the costs of initial exams, cleanings, X-rays, sealants, and fluoride treatments. 

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