Kids need dental insurance, too

Healthy teeth can mean a lifetime of bright smiles. You want that for your kids, and providing dental insurance can help.

According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, 23% of children aged 2 to 5 have cavities in their primary teeth. 17% of children aged 6 to 11 have cavities in their permanent teeth.¹

To help keep your kids cavity-free and avoid pain or suffering that comes with tooth problems, they should visit the dentist regularly and start preventive dental care early.

How kids’ dental insurance can help

A good insurance plan often provides the following:

Exams and X-rays to find potential problems
Fluoride treatments to prevent cavities
Identification of bite issues (possible need for braces)
Emergency dental care for toothaches or accidents involving the teeth
Advice on brushing teeth , flossing and diet

Purchasing dental insurance for your children helps to ensure they have access to the professional care they may need, and helps you manage the costs.
