Why You Should Get A Discount
Dental Plan
A recent study named dental care as the most prevalent
unmet health need among Americans. Another report
states that dental related illnesses result in 164
million lost work hours, and 51 million lost school
hours (per every 100,000 children) in the United States
each year.
So
why don't more people have dental insurance plans?
Basically, most people think quality dental plans
are not affordable. That couldn't be further from
the truth. Quality
dental care can be affordable.
Many major insurance companies offer affordable dental
plans at a discount that are a quality product. There
are so many different plans to choose from with low
and affordable rates, there is definitely a quality
plan for every budget.
Published
statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention show that 27% of children and 29% of adults
are living with untreated cavities. Many know they
have these cavities, but because they are lacking
insurance coverage, they are left untreated. This
is a very unhealthy practice. If you do not have health
insurance that includes dental coverage, you should
seek coverage with an affordable discount
dental plan. Dental care is an important part
of your overall health regimen. Healthy teeth reflect
a healthy body. Unhealthy teeth reflect an unhealthy
body. It is that simple.
According
to the American Dental Association (ADA), researchers
have found that periodontitis (the gum disease that
can cause tooth loss) is associated with stroke, cardiovascular
disease, and bacterial pneumonia. Other reports show
an unhealthy mouth may be linked to diabetes. Without
regular dental care including cleanings and check-ups,
small cavities or painful teeth often lead to tooth
and gum decay resulting in not only tooth loss, but
these much more serious conditions.
It
is bad enough that you will lose your teeth if you
do not take care of them, but you may also be affecting
your brain, heart, and immune system as well. Mark
Feldman, the president of the ADA states that "so
many Americans still lack access to basic oral care"
and calls it a "disgrace". Feldman also
states that there is a need to "get better dental
care to the millions of Americans who don't receive
it."
Affordable
dental plans are not luxuries. They are necessities.
I took a friend to the dentist a few weeks ago to
get a wisdom tooth pulled. The oral surgeon pulled
the tooth and found the culprit that caused the tooth
to rot... a popcorn hull. Both my friend and I were
astounded that something so small and seemingly insignificant
could cause tooth loss. Then I asked her when the
last time she went to the dentist was. Her response:
"Ten years ago, because I didn't think I would
find any affordable dental plans for my budget."
Too bad she didn't know how untrue that was much sooner
than this.
Regular
visits to the dentist are key toward achieving perfect
oral health, and there are lots of affordable dental
plans with low rates available. It is important not
only to keep your teeth and oral health in perfect
working condition for vanity reasons, but also to
prevent you from developing other health conditions.
It is recommended by experts to visit the dentist
regularly, every 6 months. With dental care that is
affordable, you can do it.
There
is a saying that goes, 'ignore your teeth and they
will go away'. I would rather not find out if that's
true or not. My great grandfather still had his own
teeth when he passed away - he was in his mid 80's.
He always made sure he went to the dentist, and he
always made sure he had dental coverage. So I'm going
to do what my great grandfather always told me to
do: be good to my teeth so they will be good to me.
Don't
be afraid of the dentist or the cost of dental plans.
