Dental costs are discouraging to people with dental insurance. 

Millions of people who needed dental care have yet to go stating they could not afford it. A study shows that even people with dental insurance put off their dental care needs because out-of-pocket expenses were too costly. These cost issues do not only impact lower-income households but middle-income households as well. Preventive dental care has never been more critical to maintain.

Most dental insurance stress preventive dental care providing no to very low co-payments for preventative dental care services. By having good at-home dental habits and seeing your dentist for preventive dental care, you help keep your dental cost low by not having more significant dental issues. Brushing and flossing your teeth helps to prevent cavities from starting. By seeing your dentist twice a year, they can detect any early signs of tooth decay or gum disease and treat the issue while it is still minor and less costly.
