Diagnostic Dental Care: Keeping Your Teeth Healthy
Q: How does diagnostic dental care help members and their families?
A: The plan covers routine oral exams, emergency visits, and x-rays to keep dental health on track.
Tom takes his daughter, Emily, for her regular dental check-up before school starts. The plan covers one complete oral exam every 36 months and two limited exams each year, which ensures any potential issues are caught early. As the dentist carefully examines Emily’s teeth, she notes a slight crowding issue, which might need monitoring.
Three months later, Emily has an accident during soccer practice, breaking a front tooth. Tom rushes her to the dentist, where an emergency exam is fully covered. The dentist takes a series of x-rays, reassuring Tom that the damage is manageable. The insurance plan even allows for a panoramic x-ray every 24 months, giving the dentist a full view of Emily’s teeth development. With the peace of mind that everything is covered, Tom leaves the clinic relieved, knowing that his little girl’s smile is safe.
