As the year draws to a close, many health funds reset their benefits. Scheduling those appointments you’ve been putting off—whether it’s for a routine check-up, teeth whitening, or any restorative work like fillings or crowns, before they reset is a good way to maximise your health fund benefits for dental care.
Use Your Full Entitlement: Many health funds offer a yearly dental benefit that expires at the end of the year. If you’ve yet to use your full entitlement, booking an appointment now ensures you get the most from your policy.
Preventative Care for Better Health: Regular dental exams are crucial to catch potential issues before they become expensive problems. If your health fund covers preventative care like check-ups and cleans, it’s a smart idea to get those appointments scheduled before the year ends.
Save Money on Restorative Procedures: If you need treatments such as fillings, crowns, or other restorative procedures, booking them now could help you save money by using up your remaining health fund benefits before they reset.
Plan Ahead for the New Year
It’s not just about the money; prioritising your dental health now will help you stay ahead. If you’ve been delaying treatment or haven’t yet booked in for an exam and clean, don’t wait until after the holidays when schedules get busier and your health benefits reset.
What About Your Kids?
Don’t forget to book your children in during the school holidays! Health funds often cover kids’ dental care too, and using your benefits before the year ends ensures you’re not paying out of pocket for basic dental services. Regular dental visits are essential for kids, and the holidays are the perfect time to take care of their smile.
