Besides caring for their teeth and gums at home, the American Dental Association recommends everyone have a dental cleaning and checkup at least twice a year, including children. However, money can be tight when raising a family, especially amid the COVID pandemic. Did you know children\u2019s dental insurance coverage can pay the cost of cleanings and checkups? Here\u2019s how you can invest in your child\u2019s beautiful smile for reduced rates.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Affordable Preventive Dentistry for Children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The American Dental Association reports only 64% of children have seen a dentist in the last 6 months, while 20% have a cleaning and checkup annually. These numbers are surprising considering over 51% of children under the age of 18 have private dental insurance and 38% have it through a government-funded program. No matter the coverage, it\u2019s an investment in their oral health and development. They can benefit from the comprehensive services their growing smile needs with no added strain to your finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maximize Your Child\u2019s Dental Coverage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before your child turns 1-year-old or after their first tooth pokes through the gum tissue, they should see their dentist in Buffalo Grove. Although this might seem young, it\u2019s influential in your child\u2019s oral health and the relationship they build with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.countrysidedentist.com\/pediatric-dentistry.html\">dentist for stress-free appointments<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can schedule their cleaning and checkup regularly because many pediatric insurance plans cover everything your child needs for a healthy smile. Your monthly premium allows them to get the services they need for minimal out-of-pocket expense. Generally, dental policies for children include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Preventive Dentistry:<\/strong> Most plans cover 100% of the cost for 2 cleanings and checkups annually. They often include fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and other preventive services, too.<\/li><li><strong>Restorative Dentistry:<\/strong> Many insurance benefits include basic restorative services, like fillings, tooth extractions, or root canal therapy. It\u2019s common for dental insurance to pay up to 80% of the cost after reaching the annual deductible.<\/li><li><strong>Orthodontia:<\/strong> It\u2019s not uncommon for some orthodontia services to be included when needed for medical purposes, such as correcting an open bite.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use your child\u2019s coverage to ensure their teeth and gums stay healthy to avoid costly treatments down the road. Research shows every $1 spent on prevention can save up to $50 on restorative or emergency services. You can safeguard your child\u2019s beautiful smile to ensure it thrives for a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest in a Healthy Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental insurance plans can be confusing, but you don\u2019t need to navigate your child\u2019s policy alone. Their dental team will maximize their benefits to invest in a healthy smile that lasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Natalya Nagornaya<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.countrysidedentist.com\/meet-the-doctor.html\">Dr. Nagornaya<\/a> earned her dental degree from the University of Illinois before continuing her training in preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry.
