Don't waste your insurance benefits!

dental benefits go to waste

The end of 2013 is approaching, and after the holiday celebrations comes the new year and all that it has to offer -- including a new year of dental insurance benefits! However, those benefits that you haven't used this year will not roll over with the new year. Having dental insurance that contributes to your dental needs can be very helpful to patients, but they can also be viewed as a "use it or lose it" aid.

We often hear people say that they'll wait until after the first of the year to complete their recommended treatment; for many this could be a financial disadvantage. Completing treatment within the current year allows patients to take advantage of their current dental benefits and "save" next year's benefits to continue treatment or to have on reserve in case an emergency should arise.

It's never a good idea to put off dental treatment --  avoiding treatment now can lead to costlier problems in the future -- so consider using up your dental benefits just one more reason to go ahead and get that dental issue taken care of now.

Don't delay -- there are just a few more days in 2013 for us to take care of you at Jacques Dentistry in Greenville, SC. Call us today to schedule your appointment!
