Dental Insurance: Use it or Lose it!

We hope this letter finds you well and enjoying a pleasant fall. We at Bannerwood Family and Cosmetic Dentistry are reminding you to schedule an appointment soon in order to fully utilize your 2012 dental benefits and/or healthcare flexible spending account, which will expire at the end of December.


Unlike most medical insurances, healthcare flexible spending accounts and most dental benefits do not roll over into the following year. As such, any unused benefit dollars for 2012 are typically lost.


We know how busy families are today, but by coming in for a regular dental cleaning and exam, or for any unfinished treatment, you may avoid future dental complications that may cause you to exceed future dental benefits. At Bannerwood Family and Cosmetic Dentistry we are  committed to the prevention of dental disease, and regular cleanings and exams are essential to the effort.

Please call or e-mail our office to set up an appointment at
your earliest convenience. If you are uncertain about the status of your dental benefits, we will be happy to contact your carrier on your behalf.  We hope you find this  reminder helpful!


With best wishes for continued dental health,
