Now is the time to make sure the numbers add up on your dental insurance benefits. What does that mean? Well, if you’ve maintained a regular schedule of dental appointments, then there shouldn’t be many numbers to add up! Unfortunately, this is not always the case. The American Dental Association estimates that on average, Americans with dental insurance receive only $323 of dental treatment each year. But a typical plan has an annual maximum of $1,250, which means that $927 is not being used. And because most benefits don’t roll over to the following year, that’s a lot of money getting left behind. How can you help avoid such waste?
