3 Options To Make Your Visit To The Dentist More Affordable 

Today, many individuals are looking for more affordable dentistry services to suit the needs of their entire family. Unfortunately, a significant number of them are postponing or ignoring crucial treatment due to high prices. 

Ignoring Your Dental Health Comes with a Price 

It’s important to remember that your dental health affects your overall health and neglecting your oral care can contribute to significant health problems and lead to more extensive, and expensive, dental treatments down the road. 

Here are 3 options that can help make your trip to the dentist more affordable: 

1. Government Programs 

Alberta Health Care Insurance doesn’t cover routine dental treatments such as cleanings, whitening, or extractions, but it does cover specific surgical procedures. Be sure to discuss this with your dentist prior to any treatment. 

Dental Assistance For Seniors 

Did you know that Alberta seniors with low to moderate incomes may be eligible for some benefits under the Dental and Optical Assistance for Seniors Program? 

To be eligible for these benefits, you must: 

• Be at least 65 years old 
• Have lived in Alberta for at least 3 months before applying 
• Be a permanent resident or Canadian citizen

2. Practice Preventative Dental Care 

One of the simplest and most effective ways to lower your dental fees is by practicing preventative dental care. This is especially important if you have children. 

Brushing and flossing daily can prevent conditions such as gum disease and cavities, which can require costly treatments. By scheduling regular dental exams for your whole family, you can keep your teeth healthy and your long term dental costs low. 

In addition to saving money, regular visits to your holistic dentist can have many benefits, including: 

• A brighter and healthier smile
• Lower risk of tooth loss
• Lower risk of developing cavities and other oral diseases
• Regular screenings for oral cancer

3. Consider a Private Dental Insurance Plan 

Visiting your dentist regularly is a critical component of maintaining excellent oral and overall health, but without a dental plan, the cost of these visits can add up. However, ignoring your oral problems can lead to even more costly treatment down the road, and in some cases, other health problems. 

If you don’t receive dental coverage through your job, you may want to consider investing in a private dental insurance plan.

This will lead to: 

• Lower dental fees
• Easier payment transactions (due to direct billing) 
• Total peace of mind 
• A higher likelihood that you’ll visit your dentist regularly 

However, before you purchase any plan, you should ensure that the dental insurance you choose matches your needs. Talk to your dentist, as they can help assess your oral needs, the type of insurance coverage you require, and even set up the appropriate process for direct billing.
