Before you know it, the holidays will be over and it\u2019ll be time to put up a new calendar. Until then, you can still take advantage of your remaining <strong>dental benefits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The way most dental plans work, the patient has a deductible he or she is responsible for paying, plus a yearly maximum. The yearly maximum is what an insurance company will pay over the course of the year to help a patient with important care.<\/p>\n<p>If you end the year with some of your <strong>dental benefits<\/strong> left over, what you have left doesn\u2019t rollover to the next year. It starts over again. That\u2019s why our entire team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lehighvalleydentalhealth.com\/meet-dr-john-salivonchik.html\">Dr. S. John Salivonchik\u2019s<\/a> <strong>Whitehall<\/strong> office wants to encourage you to use the <strong>dental benefits<\/strong> you still have before the year is over. Besides a new deductible and yearly maximum, 2014 could also bring changes to your premiums and co-pays.<\/p>\n<p>Do you still need one more checkup for the year? Do you know you need help with one or more important general or restorative dental services? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lehighvalleydentalhealth.com\/contact-us.html\">Call us today<\/a> to reserve an appointment.
