Dentistry benefits of Medical Insurance.

With Medical Insurance, most plans include a dentistry benefit. If you’ve ever been to the dentist before without having Medical Insurance, you’ll know that fixing that filling doesn’t come cheap. As most people are aware, the cost of healthcare in South Africa is expensive, and dentistry is no exception.

That's why you need Medical Insurance, to give your family the smile they deserve.

Why is taking care of your teeth and regular dental checkups important?

Everything in life requires maintenance, from your home to your car to your teeth. If you don’t service your car regularly, your car will likely break down. The same goes for your teeth. If you don’t take care of your teeth and go for regular checkups, your teeth will not last as long as they need to.

No matter how old you are, maintaining good dental health should be a top priority, not only for having a gleaming smile but also for your overall health. It's possible for issues with your mouth and teeth to cause additional health problems. Regular dental checkups are vital for the following reasons:

• Keep your teeth looking sparkly.
• Prevent plaque build up, cavities and tooth decay.
• Keep gum disease at bay.
• Check for oral cancers or other health concerns. 
• Help educate about oral care at home.
