If you have been avoiding the dentist, you join more than 30 percent of insured Americans who do not visit the dentist regularly for dental cleanings and checkups. While 44 percent of people do not visit the dentist regularly due to the cost of care, maximizing the value of your dental insurance allows you to affordably protect your oral health. However, most people underestimate the importance of visiting the dentist twice a year, which is one reason only 83 percent of children 2 to 17 years of age visited the dentist in 2014. That number was far lower with adults as only 62 percent of adults visited the dentist. As your dentist in Burlington, we encourage you to use your dental insurance before the end of the year to protect your oral health.
