\"YoungChildren across the country are back in the classroom and getting excited about the upcoming holidays, which means life is probably pretty busy. Although your days are a little more hectic, don\u2019t forget to schedule your child\u2019s semi-annual cleaning and checkup. At the end of the year, children\u2019s dental insurance coverage resets. Don\u2019t miss your chance to use their benefits to keep their smile healthy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

Benefits of Early Dental Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brushing and flossing aren\u2019t enough to keep your little one\u2019s teeth and gums healthy. By their first birthday, they should begin seeing a dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and checkup. Their dentist will monitor their oral health to detect anything concerning while it’s small. Early diagnosis and treatment will prevent the issue from worsening to preserve their natural smile and avoid complex procedures later. Not to mention, it teaches your child the importance of oral health to build healthy habits that can last for a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your child\u2019s dental insurance<\/a> makes it easy and affordable to maintain their cleanings and checkups. Although every plan differs, most policies for children include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Semi-Annual Cleanings and Checkups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most plans allow your child to have a cleaning and checkup every 6 months after a copayment. A dental hygienist will clean their teeth and take digital X-rays, which are also covered in their plan. Their dentist has a complete picture of their mouth. They\u2019ll check for any abnormalities to promote their dental health and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Fluoride Treatments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fluoride is known as \u201cnature\u2019s cavity fighter\u201d because it\u2019s proven to strengthen enamel to make it more resistant to decay. Although tooth decay can occur in anyone, children are most at risk because they don\u2019t have they don\u2019t use the best brushing and flossing techniques. Fluoride varnish is a simple solution to safeguard their smile from cavities. It\u2019s painted on their teeth and absorbed into the enamel for a quick, pain-free treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Dental Sealants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A sealant is a plastic coating applied to cavity-prone areas, like the chewing surfaces of molars. This creates a barrier between the enamel and cavity-causing bacteria. Although they aren\u2019t always covered by insurance for adults, they are routinely included in children\u2019s plans because research has found they can reduce the risk of decay by 80%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If their dentist finds a cavity or another issue, your child\u2019s insurance can cover up to 80% of the expense after meeting the deductible. You won\u2019t have to worry about a large bill to restore their dental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Wait Until It\u2019s Too Late<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental insurance benefits expire at the end of the year. You aren\u2019t reimbursed for your premiums or deductible, and nothing will accumulate. Don\u2019t wait until it\u2019s too late. Schedule your child\u2019s cleaning and checkup today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
