January marks the beginning of most dental insurance policies, which remain active until December. That’s why the first weeks of the year are ideal for scheduling a dental check-up and fully utilizing your policy benefits.
If you’re an organized person and enjoy starting the year with good habits, prioritizing dental health is a smart choice.
Advantages of Visiting the Dentist Early in the Year
- Shorter Wait Times and Better Appointment Availability:
At the start of the year, dental clinics are usually less busy, allowing you to choose more convenient times and receive personalized attention. - Prevention and Savings:
Detecting any issues early prevents costly treatments. Addressing minor discomforts before they become major problems can save you money and future complications. - Compliance with Dental Recommendations:
Experts recommend two professional cleanings per year. Scheduling the first one in January or February allows you to optimize your insurance coverage and leave ample time for the second check-up within the same policy period. - Ample Time for Cosmetic or Corrective Treatments:
If you’re considering procedures like orthodontics, whitening, or veneers, starting early in the year gives you enough time to complete them without rushing.
Most Plans Cover Preventive Treatments at 100%
In most cases, cleanings and routine check-ups are fully covered by insurance, often with minimal or no copay.
As you can see, starting the year with a dental visit offers only benefits. And if you don’t have dental insurance yet, call Univista Insurance to find the coverage that best fits your needs and budget. Protect your smile today!
