How To Not Waste Your Dental Insurance Benefits

How much money is wasted each year on unused dental benefits? Let’s take a look. According to the American Dental Association, Americans with dental insurance receive an average of only $323 of dental treatment each year. But most plans have annual maximums of $1,250, so $927 is left unused. Multiply that by the 164 million people who have private dental insurance, and the grand total in lost dental benefits is $152 billion! Most benefits don’t roll over from year to year, which means there is a bit of money getting left on the table. How can you help avoid such waste?
