When you seek pediatric dental care for your child, you are making a wise decision. Pediatric dentists are uniquely qualified by training and experience to provide the most appropriate, cost-effective dental care for children. Pediatric dental care typically does not cost more than care provided by a general dentist. Preventive dentistry can only occur if your child visits the dental office regularly. Some dental plans are designed to minimize coverage for regular examinations, topical fluoride treatments or dental sealants.
Parents have choices.
When you are unhappy with your dental plan, you have options. Sometimes the dentist that is right for parents, brothers and sisters may not be the best choice for another child. The cost of this care is worthwhile in the long run. You can find out if your employer offers less restrictive plans. Know your choices during your re-enrollment period.
