Can you believe that most of January is already behind us?! Now is the time to figure out your family’s dental plan for the year and budget accordingly. To help you tackle this daunting task, start by asking yourself a few questions: What dental work should you have done? If you have dental insurance, how much of the work will be covered? If you do not have insurance, will you be able to afford necessary dental procedures? We have put together a guide to help you simplify the process of answering these questions and design your family’s dental plan for 2020.
What Dental Work Do You Need? The answer to this first question is also the first action item on your family’s dental plan: schedule a dental checkup for every member of your family who is over the age of two. Twice annual checkups are the best way to proactively take care of your family’s oral health. During your visits, the hygienist and dentist will provide a thorough cleaning and examination of your entire mouth, teeth, and gums. They will make recommendations on any additional procedures that should be done, such as removing cavities, repairing cracked fillings, adding orthodontics, or fixing missing or damaged teeth.
How Much of the Associated Costs Will be Covered by Insurance? Once you know what dental work is recommend for your family, you should check with your dental insurance provider to find out what your coverage will include. More than three quarters of Americans have dental insurance or benefits according to the National Association of Dental Plans. Coverage varies greatly from one provider and plan to the next. In general, most cover the recommended twice annual dental checkups, though the timing can vary: some require the visits be spaced by six or more months, while others just require it be within a calendar year. Many providers follow the 100-80-50 coverage structure: covering 100% of preventative care, 80% of basic procedures, and 50% of major procedures. Most plans also have a cap, or annual maximum, above which you become responsible to pay all expenses. The best thing to do is to call your insurance provider and ask what portion of a recommended procedure will be covered.

We have got you covered with our In Office Dental Savings Plan, which is designed to provide affordability and greater access to quality dental care.

As we begin a new year and a new decade, why not make a resolution to do something that will improve your overall health and well-being, while also transforming your appearance? Make 2020 the year you resolve to smile more!
Countless studies have proven that the act of smiling – whether it’s an unconscious reaction or a conscious decision to do so – has a plethora of benefits. Smiling frequently makes us appear to be more attractive, younger, and more confident.
Additionally, smiling can make us feel better too. When we smile, it relaxes our bodies and releases feel-good neurotransmitters, which then lowers our stress levels and improves our mood. It can even boost our immune system and lower blood pressure.
Need yet another reason to start smiling more? Not only can it help you to look and feel better, but it will do the same for those around you. Smiling really is contagious, so smiling at others will create a “domino” effect of people looking and feeling their best!

It’s the holiday season, which for many people means it is time for family gatherings, gift giving, and indulging in special treats.
While annual traditions are an important part of celebrating and bringing us together with loved ones, unfortunately many of them are not the healthiest. Overspending can cause stress. Eating and drinking too much can be bad for our waistline and our teeth. And family gatherings often lead to a lot of sitting around. This year, why not swap out some of your family’s unhealthy traditions with new ones that will promote better overall health and well-being.
Make and Share (Healthier) Treats
Spending time together baking holiday confections is a classic tradition. While I would never suggest you forgo sweets altogether, try to swap one sugary batch of cookies for a healthier treat, such as Rudolph Celery Snacks or Apples with a Maple Cinnamon Dip. Both these options are low in sugar and incorporate fresh fruits and veggies, which are great for our teeth, since munching on them scrubs away sugary cavity-causing cookie remnants.
Carol for a Cause
After finishing a big filling holiday meal, it is tempting to kick your feet up and relax. But continuing to be sedentary won’t help you burn off any extra calories, and could actually lead to consuming even more tempting treats. This year, once the table is cleared, why not bundle up and head out together to go caroling around the neighborhood. Not only will the walking and singing get your heart rate up, but it will also boost your mood. You and your loved ones can also choose a local charity to request donations for while you carol.
Stress Less: Give the Gift of a Better Toothbrush
Coming up with the perfect gift for all your loved ones takes up a lot of time and often a lot of money. This year, you can cross off almost everyone on your list by giving the gift of a healthier smile! The Quip electric toothbrush has a simple to use design powered by a single AAA battery and is available in different styles and sizes, making it a perfect choice for everyone from grandparents to kids. It has a built in two-minute timer that vibrates to let you know when you have brushed for long enough, and every three months, Quip mails you a new battery and brush head to ensure you are swapping out your old one in a timely fashion. Quip makes caring for your teeth properly super easy!
From all of us at Roselle Park Dental, have a Happy Holiday and Healthy New Year! Here’s to a great 2020!!!
