As a parent, finding the right dental insurance for your child can be a daunting task. However, the new year is a great time to reassess your family’s dental insurance needs and make any necessary changes. Here are some things to consider when shopping for pediatric dental insurance: 

Determine your family’s needs: Consider how often your child sees the dentist, any existing dental conditions, and your budget when deciding on a dental insurance plan. 

Look for a plan with a large network of dentists: A larger network of dentists means more options for your child’s dental care. 

Consider the types of services covered: Some dental insurance plans only cover basic services, while others may include coverage for orthodontic treatment or other specialty services. Determine what type of coverage your child needs and look for a plan that offers those services. 

Check for annual maximums and deductibles: Some dental insurance plans have annual maximums, which is the maximum amount the insurance company will pay per year. Others have deductibles, which is the amount you must pay out of pocket before the insurance company starts covering costs. These factors can impact your out-of-pocket costs, so it’s important to consider them when shopping for a plan. 

Compare plans and prices: Take the time to compare different dental insurance plans and prices to find the one that best fits your family’s needs and budget. 

By doing your research and considering your family’s specific needs, you can find a pediatric dental insurance plan that meets your needs and helps ensure that your child’s teeth and gums stay healthy. At Brentwood Pediatric Dentistry we are always happy to have more people join the family.
