Q. What are the health benefits of fluoride?

Q. Are dental X-rays dangerous?
A. Dental X-rays are one of the lowest radiation dose studies performed. our routine exam which includes 4 bitewings is about 0.005 mSv, which is less than one day of natural background radiation. It is also about the same amount of radiation exposure from a short airplane flight (1-2 hrs).

A. A specific dollar amount that you must pay before the dental plan begins to cover your expenses.
Q. What is an explanation of benefits or an EOB?
A. This is a document you receive from your insurance. It is not a bill, but rather an explanation of what procedures were performed and what was covered by your dental plan. Though EOBs vary from different insurance companies, they should include the dentist’s fee, the portion insurance paid and any amount you may owe (such as deductible, coinsurance or non-covered services). It should also include an update on how much of your annual maximum has been used and the amount you’ve paid toward your deductible. However, for some case, due to information incomplete or out-of-date.
Q. I’m covered under more than one dental plan. How does my coverage work?
A. Typically one of the dental plans will be considered your primary plan. This plan will pay towards your dental care first. Any additional plans that you are covered under will pay towards whatever portion is remaining. Your plan information will have a coordination of benefits provision that explains how it is handled by your plan. Regardless of how the coordination is handled, the plans cannot pay more than 100 percent of the cost of your treatment.
