Which Benefit Plan is not like the Other? The Differences Between Medical and Dental Coverage

December 10, 2015 By Heather Horsey

Not all insurance works the same! Learn how dental and medical benefits operate differently:Tomato, tomahto. Potayto, potahto. Medical, dental. What’s the difference? Should we just call the whole thing off?

The truth is, dentists and doctors care for you in different ways. Dental and medical plans are designed differently in order to be effective.

Medical Benefits

FOCUS: Unexpected Care

Medical insurance focuses more on covering consequences of injury and illness after they happen. And because medical care can be quite costly, medical coverage is designed to protect you from the burden of large expenses.

Dental Benefits

FOCUS: Preventive Care

Dental benefits are all about stopping problems before they begin. Dental insurance is meant to cover some of the costs associated with your dental care. Routine dental care, like regular checkups and cleanings, are key to a healthy smile.

Many people don’t realize that regular dentist visits can help avoid costly and painful dental problems down the road. In fact, cavities are almost 100% preventable.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Take Ben Franklin’s advice and use your preventive dental benefits!
