Dental Plans

Hello everyone!

Affordable dental care is a very important component to overall health coverage. A recent study named dental care as the most prevalent unmet health need among Americans. Another report states that dental-related illnesses result in 164 million lost work hours, and 51 million lost school hours (per every 100,000 children) in the United States each year. So why don't more people have dental plans? Most people think dental plan rates are not affordable. That couldn't be further from the truth. Affordable dental plans are not only available, but there are many with low monthly and/or annual rates!

Regular visits to the dentist are key toward achieving perfect oral health, and there are lots of affordable insurance and dental plan rates available. It is important not only to keep your teeth and oral health in perfect working condition for vanity reasons, but also to prevent you from developing other health conditions. It is recommended by experts to visit the dentist regularly, every 6 months.

There is a saying that goes, 'ignore your teeth and they will go away'. I would rather not find out if that's true or not. My great grandfather still had his teeth when he passed away. He always made sure he went to the dentist, and had an awesome dental plan. So I'm going to do like he told me too: Be good to my teeth so they will be good to me.
