Preventive Dental Services: The Key to a Healthy Smile
Q: What preventive services are included in the plan?
A: The plan covers cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and space maintainers to prevent future dental problems.
Emily loves her trips to the dentist, especially because her hygienist always lets her pick a sticker afterward. The insurance covers polishing and fluoride treatments twice a year, so Emily’s teeth stay shiny and strong. During one visit, the dentist notices a deep groove on her molar and applies a pit and fissure sealant, covered by the plan every 24 months.
A few months later, Emily’s dentist recommends a space maintainer to prevent her back teeth from shifting. Tom’s plan covers this, along with appliances to control any harmful oral habits like thumb-sucking. Knowing the preventive care is in place, Tom feels confident that Emily’s dental health is well protected as she grows.
