Did you know your dental insurance benefits reset every year? It\u2019s true. If your dental insurance plan \u2014 like most \u2014 is on a calendar year, you have just seven weeks<\/i><\/b> to use the benefits you signed up for with your 2017 plan. Come Jan. 1, 2018, any and all of your paid-for, 2017, unused benefits will disappear.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s How Dental Insurance Works \u2026<\/h2>\n

Every dental insurance plan has a set limit on how much money the insurance company will pay for your dental treatments in a given year. While the amount varies among insurance companies and plans, the maximum payout amount usually resets each year on January 1. In addition, your dental insurance deductible \u2014 which is the amount of money that you must pay out-of-pocket before your insurance company will pay for any dental services \u2014 resets each year on January 1.<\/p>\n

Don’t let your dental insurance go to waste!<\/p><\/div>\n

If you have used your dental insurance at all this year, you\u2019ve probably paid some money towards your annual deductible already. In fact, you may have already paid your deductible off and what\u2019s left on your plan is your coverage. If you don\u2019t use your coverage by Dec. 31, 2017, you will lose it! <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The end of the year is a great time to take advantage of everything your dental insurance provides, especially if you have outstanding treatments. By scheduling an appointment today and using your 2017 dental insurance benefits before the New Year, you could be saving yourself hundreds of dollars! <\/span><\/p>\n
