Whatever the issue might be, here are some tips to help you overcome your fears and help your smile become the brightest it can be.

The safety of patients and staff is the first order of business for dentists to open their practices. Unfortunately, many offices are short in safety supplies such as respirator masks, gloves, shields and more. Such items are required and highly needed for practices to get back to treating patients.

To help with the high demand of safety supplies, DentalXChange is offering a promotion to dental practices, while supplies last.

When a practice adds a new paid DentalXChange service they will receive ten KN95 masks. 

DentalXChange will also donate ten KN95 masks to one of their non-profit partners, in need of supplies and support 

“Your purchase helps us to donate masks to our partnered charities that are in desperate need of safety supplies.” You can read more about the promotion here.

DentalXChange has been the leading provider of online services since 1989. They have been in the forefront of providing easy to use, time saving services that can be used anywhere, at home or office. Services such as ClaimConnect, Real-Time Eligibility, E-Patient Statements and Patient Credit Score Service, in addition to others, help process patient services without the presence of the patient.

Soon, dental practices will be heading back to seeing patients in their offices. We believe respirator masks, which are in high demand and are difficult to find, will be an important part of keeping safe while treating patients. This also means that more than ever, non-profit organizations that depend on support of the community, will also be needing safety supplies which will not be easy to find.

DentalXChange has been partnering and supporting various non-profit organization through the EHG Fund, since in 2007. The EHG Fund focuses its attention on helping raise a new generation of peacemakers, humanitarians, ambassadors, altruists and vision seekers, qualified to inherit the world.

Their philanthropy is funded through private contributions from clientele, staff and others who feel their causes are worthy. The EHG Fund is a 501 C 3 charity in the State of California and contributions are tax deductible. All donations and resources go towards assisting institutions and programs focused on aiding individuals in the areas of education, healthcare and human services.

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.
