If your child has dental insurance, you want to get the most from the benefits it provides. However, because life is so busy, you may not have scheduled the preventive dental treatments your child’s dental insurance covers. Maybe your Palos Heights dentist has recommended a particular dental treatment to improve your child’s oral health. Whatever the circumstances, you should consider using your child’s dental benefits before the end of the year. Here’s how.
Pediatric Dental Services for Your Child’s Oral Health
If finances or time constraints have kept you from scheduling any dental procedure recommended by your dentist, now is a great time to schedule an appointment. You may be pleasantly surprised at how much of the cost your child’s dental insurance will cover. It may pay for most of their treatment, leaving you with a minimal financial obligation.
Our dental team will happily help you determine your child’s coverage and get their dental treatment scheduled before the end of the year. Some of the dental procedures that may be covered by insurance include the following:
- Special needs dentistry
- Early intervention orthodontic services
- Pediatric Restorative dentistry, such as tooth fillings, tooth crowns, nerve treatment, and space maintainers
Preventive Care Can Detect Issues Early
Many dental insurance plans pay for two dental exams and cleanings each year, so if your child doesn’t need any other dental procedures, consider scheduling a preventive dental appointment. Our dental team uses behavior guidance to keep your child calm during their dental visits, and we also have nitrous oxide available if your child suffers from dental anxiety or has to undergo more extensive treatment.
Dental cleanings and fluoride treatments help your child’s oral health and prevent tooth decay and gum disease. In addition, if your dentist detects any dental issues, they can take care of them before they worsen. Treating dental problems early can often save you money in the long run.
