Benjamin Franklin said: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”, and his wise words certainly still apply today, particularly with regard to Dental Insurance Benefits.
Here's a short list of 10 great reasons you should obtain, and use, your dental insurance benefits to their full extent:
- If your employer offers dental benefits, you are more like to go to the dentist.
- Seeing a dentist helps catch potential problems early on.
- Visiting your dentist regularly actually saves you money on more expensive treatments and procedures that may be necessary if you avoid routine dental visits and preventative maintenance.
- Studies show that for every $1 we spend on prevention, we save $4 in future dental treatment costs.
- Preventive dental care saves Americans as much as $4 Billion dollars a year. That's a LOT of savings!
- Dental benefits can also help lower health insurance costs, since dental checkups can provide early warning signs of potentially serious disease in our bodies.
- Your dentist can see evidence of over 120 diseases — from heart disease to cancer—simply by examining the inside of your mouth.
- Catching any of these serious diseases early is one of the keys to long term good health. It also helps avoid future health bills and high insurance premiums.
- Dental benefits help improve productivity in the workplace. More than 164 million work hours are lost each year due to dental problems! (That is a staggering amount of time lost on the job!)
- Access to quality dental care means less time away from the job and in the dentist's chair.
Bottom line- dental benefits can help save you real money, while keeping people healthy and more productive both at the workplace and at home.
With this comprehensive list of reasons and benefits for obtaining dental insurance,it's clearly a win-win for you to have dental benefits, and to USE THEM to their fullest.
