So 2019 has come and gone and you forgot to use your dental benefits. It’s frustrating! It feels like you threw money away, which you kind of did. So how do you avoid making the same mistake this year?

Here are some tips for using your 2020 dental insurance benefits:

 – Frist, if you don’t already have a dentist, find out what kind of insurance you have and what dentist is covered in your area. You’ll want to find out, what your deductible is, how much your copay might be and what is covered under your plan. A simple call to the 800 phone number on the back of your insurance card will answer any questions you may have. You can also call your dentist and they will be able to find out this information for you.

– Most plans pay for preventive visits. It’s a good idea to schedule one as early in the year as possible. This way you and your doctor can talk about what your dental needs are and plan your year out accordingly. You’ll be able to set appointments for future care, plus, starting the year out with a bright white smile is always nice.

-Once you have a plan for your yearly dental care, you’ll be able to budget accordingly and hopefully have a happy, healthy holiday season at the end of 2020 without having to worry about your lapsing dental benefits.

Having a tooth replaced can be daunting. I, myself, have had many an anxious filled night wondering how much pain the surgery (and yes, it is surgery) would cause and how long the pain would last afterwards. Of course there are the customary questions of, “will the new fake tooth fit all right?” or, “will the new fake tooth be the right color?” and, “how soon before I can eat again?” The last question is the one that weighs on me the most… no pun intended.

But, what if I didn’t have to have my tooth replaced? Or, more to the point, what if I could just grow another tooth?

We all know the human body contains two sets of teeth. Deciduous teeth (or baby teeth) are all gone by the time you reach 12 to 13 years old. After that, your adult teeth come in and, that’s all folks. Those puppies have to last the rest of your life, so take care of them!

But what if those two sets aren’t your last? Enter – Stem Cell Treatments.

Teeth contain quite a bit of dental stem cells. What are stem cells? Well, from birth, the body is equipped with different types of cells that help you grow, you. From your organs to every system in your body, all of them are made up by cells.

Teeth hold a reservoir of cells that could be used to do many things like help heal a cavity before a tooth requires a root canal or Stem cells may be able to repair dental pulp and direct the immune system to remove tooth decay-causing bacteria.

Studies have also identified a network of genes that are responsible for tooth development and lifelong tooth regeneration in sharks. Genes that humans naturally possess. So, perhaps one day, we could also go through 30,000 teeth in a lifetime.

Until then, if you are having issues with your smile, you can find a great dentist on www.DentistUSA.com.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and for many single people it’s the worst day of the year. Having to watch other people flaunt their love with public displays of affection, restaurants raising prices for needy lovers looking for a place to celebrate, mothers calling wondering, “when will you finally find someone”. What is a single person to do? Well, if you’d like to make your mother happy and join the ranks of the love afflicted, you might want to smile more.

According to a national survey from the American Dental Association and Crest and Oral B, the smile outranked eyes, hair and the body as the most attractive physical feature. A warm, friendly smile shows you’re relaxed and comfortable, which means you’ll come across as confident and secure. Studies show that people who smile more are frequently seen as more attractive to the opposite sex.

Even the action of just smiling can boost your mood by stimulating the area of the brain that is active when you naturally smile. And as it turns out, people are attracted to happy confident people.

Wondering what you can do to make you more confident in your smile? Here is one of our past blogs that can give you tips on whitening your teeth. You should definitely visit your dentist. They will be able to give you the best tips and give you a smile you’ll be proud to share. Then maybe, you’ll be a part of those couples flaunting their PDA on Valentine’s Day.
