If you have dental insurance, chances are you haven’t reached your current annual maximum. According to the ADA, the average American with dental insurance only uses $323 worth of benefits every year, despite having an annual maximum as high as $1,250. That means hundreds of dollars’ worth of benefits goes to waste.
However, there are ways to maximize it before that happens. According to a dentist who accepts many dental plans, using insurance comes down to knowing what treatments you have left to use and setting the time aside to do so.

It’s so popular that even adults have difficulty growing out of playing dress-up. But what implications does the holiday have for your child’s oral health or safety? Were you aware that nearly twice as many accidents involving trips, falls and vehicle collisions happen on Halloween compared to other holidays?
