Understanding How Dental Insurance Works

Most family dental insurance plans revolve around one thing: prevention. They are designed to make basic services like checkups and cleanings easily affordable so patients can address minor issues early and avoid many problems completely. While insurance will also pay for treatments to help a child that has an infected or broken tooth, the coverage is usually lower compared to preventive procedures, which is why using a policy to be proactive is normally the best approach.

What Your Dental Insurance Plan Covers

Your dental plan’s benefits probably look something like this:

Checkups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and other preventive services are covered 80-100%.
Fillings, metal-free restorations, pulp therapy, and other restorative services are covered 50-70%.
Whitening, bonding, aesthetic crowns, and other cosmetic services are usually NOT covered because these are elective procedures.

Just by bringing your child in for their two recommended checkups and cleanings per year, you can drastically lower their risk for cavities while also spending little to nothing out of pocket!
