\nThe end of November isn\u2019t that far away, and after that 2014
\nis just around the corner. That doesn\u2019t just mean that it\u2019s time to replace
\nyour calendar. It will also mean a change in your dental benefits<\/b>.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nRight now, if you\u2019ve paid your deductible for the year and
\nyou still have some of your yearly maximum left, you\u2019re insurance company will
\nhelp you pay for select dental services. At the beginning of 2014, though, you\u2019ll
\nbe looking at a new deductible and a fresh yearly maximum. You may also see
\nchanges in your premiums and co-pays.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nBut between now and the end of the year, you can take full
\nbenefit of your dental benefits<\/b> as
\nthey currently are, getting the most out of what\u2019s left. For instance, maybe you
\nalready know that you need general or restorative help. Or maybe you just need
\nto schedule your second checkup for the year.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nDr. Folck<\/a> and Dr. Santos<\/a> recommend
\nthat all of their Virginia Beach<\/b>
\npatients come in twice a year for a regular exam and cleaning. Why are regular
\ncheckups so important? Because the buildup of plaque and bacteria around the
\nteeth and gums is what causes two of the most common oral health problems\u2014gum disease
\nand tooth decay.<\/p>\n

Do you need to schedule a year-end visit with Smile by Design<\/b>? Call us today<\/a>. We\u2019re
\nhappy to help patients from Virginia
\nBeach<\/b>, Fort Story<\/b>, Sandbridge<\/b>, and nearby communities.<\/div>\n
