Parents: Use Those Benefits Before You Lose Them
Do you currently have dental insurance or a health savings account? If so, then you could have unused benefits and funds that will vanish at the end of the year. Which is why your Dallas, TX, pediatric dentist wants to talk about putting these benefits to good use and helping your little one smile with confidence.
Dental Insurance Benefits
If you have dental insurance for your family, then each year you have a set amount of benefit available to use before the year ends. At midnight on December 31st, these will simply disappear. Likewise, if you have a health savings account, then you also have funds that will vanish unless used. Instead of seeing these vanish, why not bring your little one in for an appointment? Our team can conduct an exam and cleaning, and if we find issues that need attention, such as a cavity, we can offer treatment. This means they can greet the holiday season and the new year with a brighter and healthier smile! Our friendly office staff can help you understand what benefits you have available to use, so you have an estimate of what may be covered. We want to ensure your kids end 2025 and start 2026 with good smiles!
Starting Your Child’s Treatment
As we mentioned, the process starts with a dental exam and a cleaning. During the exam portion, we will conduct a gentle and thorough examination of the teeth and gums with digital x-rays and intraoral camera, so we can make a diagnosis with precision and identify any areas of concern. If we find issues like tooth decay, we can plan treatment to stop discomfort and prevent issues like infection or even premature tooth loss. In the same sitting we help protect the smile further with a cleaning, removing all harmful plaque and tartar from the teeth to lower the risk of issues like cavities and gingivitis.
Prevention and Restoration
To help prevent issues like tooth decay, we could apply fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel, a process that only takes a few seconds. We can also help by adding dental sealants to the rear teeth, which are often difficult for kids to reach when they brush and floss. The sealants then prevent decay from forming in the molars. If we discover a cavity, in one visit we can apply a metal-free and safe filling made from composite resin, which is more natural in appearance than metal.
