How can dental plans make dental care more affordable?

Dental plans can help you manage your dental care costs better — because the cost of not taking care of your oral health could be more. 

  • People without individual dental coverage are less likely to get routine dental care
  • Waiting until there’s a problem means that dental treatment will often be more involved and expensive 
  • Major problems linked to poor oral health (like heart disease and diabetes) are more likely to appear3

Preventive dental care helps prevent these problems

There are multiple dental plans with different levels of benefits to help you find the best dental insurance fit for your budget.4 If you’ve ever bought a gym membership or a treadmill to help remind you to take care of yourself, supplemental dental insurance from Golden Rule Insurance Company can be similar. It’s that reminder to take care of your teeth. Even better, it can help you plan ahead for the costs of your dental care.
