Use it or Lose it

We know many of our clients enjoy the benefit of dental insurance. Did you know that if you do not use all of your benefits for the year the insurance company gets to keep your money? Did you also know that only 20% of you people who have insurance use it?

There is only about 12 weeks left in 2010. We have to take out about two of those due to the holidays. We really only have about 10 weeks left. You can utilize your benefits or donate it to those insurance companies. Have you ever noticed that most of the big buildings in most cities are owned by insurance companies??? How do you think they pay for those buildings?? Could it the unused money from your benefits???

Here at Mauismiles we are not anti-insurance. We just think that you should spend your hard earned money and employers money on keeping yourselves healthy.

Our Hygienists are so popular that we are already running out of spots for 2010, and some people are being pushed into 2011. I always suggest making your next appointment before you leave. Even if you don't know your schedule it is much easier to get you in if we can trade your appointment with someone else. I would suggest for those that do not have an appointment for 2010 or 2011, that you call and make an appointment as soon as possible to reserve your spots and utilize your benefits.

We also will be having something new in 2011 for our patients that don't have insurance or have lost their benefits, due to the economy or change of employment. This is something new that will make it easier to obtain optimal oral health. I will have more on that in a later blog.

Thanks and keep Smiling
