Do you have Private Health Insurance with Dental benefits?
If you have answered yes to the above question then read along.
Most Health insurances reset the Dental benefits every year in December. This means if you have not used your benefits you will lose it.
Let’s say you pay $50 per month ($560 per year) and you have a $500 annual limit towards General Dental which is up to 2 check-ups and clean. If you do not use this benefit then it will expire at the end of the year .
Now you may ask why do I need 2 check-ups and clean?
It’s simple, our baby teeth fall off by the time we reach 12 years and the adult teeth that grow is what we have. So, it’s important to look after your teeth by regularly brushing your teeth at least twice a day along with flossing and getting your teeth professionally checked and cleaned by your dentist twice a year.
Your dental visit will ensure any major dental problems are identified and fixed before they become major which ultimately will be expensive to fix.
Have you wondered why the Health Fund gives you an annual limit that amounts to 2 check-ups and clean?
This is because they want you to look after and maintain good oral hygiene. This would mean you will not need complex treatment and they will not need to pay more for your treatment.
So, what to do next?
- Schedule a check-up and clean appointment ASAP.
- Pre-book your next 6 monthly visits after your appointment so we will send you a reminder when your appointment is due.
- Lastly attend your appointment as the more you maintain, less problems will be identified and more money you will have in your pocket.
