How Root Canal Treatment Can Save Your Smile

Image
Here at Advance Dental in Granger, IN, creating healthy smiles is our specialty. If your tooth develops an infection or is facing damage from decay, you should visit your dentist, Dr. Ronald F.

SIX REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD USE YOUR DENTAL BENEFITS

Image
SIX REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD USE YOUR DENTAL BENEFITS We've all heard the saying "use it or lose it," well that is especially true when it comes to dental benefits. We want to assist you in maximizing your dental insurance benefits and essentially save you money.   1. Yearly Maximum   This is the limit on how much your dental insurance plan will pay within one full year. Most are capped at $1000 to $1500 and usually renew on January 1st. If you have unused benefits, these will not roll over to the next year, they will be lost. 2. Deductible   This a set amount of money you must pay before your insurance company will pay towards any treatment. If you've received dental treatment this year, you've probably met or made some progress towards your deductible. Completing treatment this year will help you avoid paying your deductible twice.    3. Premiums   This one is simple, if you are paying for your dental insurance premiums every month, you should
