Dental Membership Savings Plan

Do you know about Dental Membership Savings P lans?

As parents, we want our children to be healthy and resilient. This is no small task and managing activities for the kids and taking care of their day-to-day physical and emotional needs can sometimes leave the routine, preventative care by the wayside. Pediatric Dentistry has come a long way since the 1960s when dental insurance plans were first introduced in the United States. Insurance carriers and plans have not advanced with the technology and treatment philosophies of modern dentistry.

Approximately 59% of Americans do not use their full insurance benefits, in large part because the plan benefits are not tailored properly to standard treatment recommendations for children. Children often do not require the standard dental procedures at the level that insurances cover them—such as amalgam (silver) fillings, bridges, or dentures. On the other hand, insurance often does not cover the services that children often need. Children may require extra time, TLC (tender love and care), or additional visits to the dentist based on their level of cooperation, age, special needs, and anxiety-related concerns.

As a result, some progressive dentists have opted to offer specially customized plans for their patients- which is especially helpful for pediatric patients! Smile Wonders is one of the pediatric dental offices that has taken the initiative to offer a customized pediatric dental savings plan for their patients. They offer 4 different levels of care specifically tailored for your child’s age and preventive care needs. The toddler plan is ideal for children under three to establish a great oral hygiene routine as soon as those teeth start coming in! Child Complete plan is geared to those patients who have established good home care and want to receive the best preventative care in the office. Child Preferred plan is extra helpful for kids who need additional in-office cleanings to help with plaque build-up and difficulties with homecare.
