Practically all physicians have health insurance. It’s regarded as essential to maintaining overall health. Having it in place allows you to access vital preventive care and seek treatment that can safeguard your life.

Dental insurance can be overlooked. Some physicians opt out of dental insurance, perhaps due to cost. In actuality, dental insurance can provide savings for those who visit the dentist regularly. Opting out of dental insurance creates a gap in your care that can have a significant impact on your health and wellness.

Have you been missing visits to your dentist? If so, it’s not surprising. You work long hours. Your schedule can be packed. Plus, the cost of a routine exam with a full set of x-rays can seem expensive – as it seems the cost of almost everything continues to rise.

But skipping regular visits to the dentist can have a negative impact – not just on oral health, but on your overall health as well.

As inflation increases, it’s a common reaction to start looking at what expenses could be eliminated from your budget in order to save money. While nearly all physicians would consider health insurance a necessary expense, what about dental insurance? Many people opt out of dental coverage, some perhaps viewing it as peripheral insurance, specific only to one part of the body. Plus, if you’re brushing and flossing regularly, what harm could there be in skipping a couple checkups and just bypassing the dentist for a year…or two…or three…? 

Nearly all physicians are diligent about securing comprehensive health insurance coverage, yet a surprising number opt out of dental insurance. Overlooking this important coverage can have a significant impact on your health.
