Dental insurance

Many people are surprised to find their health insurance policy doesn’t provide coverage for dental care. Unfortunately, going to the dentist without coverage can be very expensive — even though it’s important to protect your oral health and whole-body health.

The good news is that dental insurance plans are relatively affordable. Whether you get a plan through an employer or buy one independently, a policy that covers routine cleaning, as well as restorative work, can help you protect your pearly whites and reduce the risk of serious infections that can be painful and compromise your overall health.
