Most physicians would agree that health insurance is necessary coverage, but because of the expense, dental insurance may not be prioritized, especially if you are already maintaining a regular at home dental regimen, such as brushing and flossing. However, overlooking dental insurance can delay regular checkups and create a gap in safeguarding your overall health, potentially leading to more significant expenses in the future.

The Impact of Delayed Care

Consistent dental care is essential for maintaining a healthy mouth, teeth, gums, and overall health. Delaying or neglecting preventive care can lead to more expensive dental procedures and health concerns, setting you back financially and emotionally. For example, conditions linked to oral health include heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Some other illnesses that may be related to oral health include eating disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, certain cancers, and an immune system disorder that causes dry mouth (Sjogren's syndrome).

With regular checkups, such problems are often avoidable, keeping your body, mind, and wallet happy and healthy.

Connecting You to Better Coverage

TMA Insurance Trust works with leading carriers to offer Texas physicians and their families comprehensive dental plans. For instance, one MetLife plan helps you access exclusive savings on dental care and procedures. It includes reduced out-of-pocket expenses, affordable premiums locked in through October 2024, and minimal copays for cleanings, exams, crowns, bridges, and implants.
