What is Dental Insurance?
Dental insurance is a type of health insurance that specifically focuses on covering expenses related to dental care. It provides financial assistance to policyholders for a variety of dental services, including routine check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, and other treatments.
Dental insurance aims to promote oral health and preventive care by offering coverage for routine examinations and treatments, which can help identify and address dental issues early on. Depending on the policy, dental insurance may also include partial or full coverage for more extensive procedures like root canals, crowns, and orthodontic treatments.
By offering a way to manage dental expenses, dental insurance plays a crucial role in ensuring individuals and families can maintain good oral health without facing significant financial burdens.
