With about three weeks left in 2012, it’s a good time to consider your wellbeing. After all, how often have you found yourself with a holiday hangover, either physical or seasonal? If you’re like most people, that usually prompts a New Years resolution to exercise, eat right, floss & brush regularly, even though it’s hard to start and difficult to maintain.
Better bet: make 2013 a year of wellness by starting on the right foot. Take advantage of your dental insurance benefits before the end of the year. Because if you don’t, those benefits are gone forever.
Dental insurance is a strange bird. It can be difficult to understand, coverage is different for every policy and, (this is the kicker), benefits don’t accumulate like unused minutes on your phone. Instead, if you don’t use your benefits by the end of the year, you lose them. It’s like a gift certificate that expires before you use it.
So I strongly encourage you to make your appointment before the end of the year and use those valuable benefits.
As you probably know, Total Health Dental Care is about much more than healthy teeth. Our East Bay dental office understands the connection between oral health and dental health. We provide access to dental care that considers, and helps improve, your total health.
But in order to help you look and feel your very best, we have to see you! And if you’re insured, with benefits remaining, now is the time to schedule a visit.
I also want you to know that, as an Oakland dentist and Berkeley dentist, I respect the fact that dental care is not free. That’s why, for those who aren’t insured, we offer the Total Health Dental Care Membership Program. Everyone should have access to great care, preventive treatment and affordable procedures.
For those who are insured, not using your benefits is just money left on the table. If you value good health, give yourself a gift this holiday season. Use your dental insurance benefits while you have them and take the opportunity to honor your body with care.
