Don’t Ignore Your Oral Health

ByTerry Arthur

Root Canal TreatmentMany people don’t think they need to see a dentist, that is, until they’re experiencing tooth pain.
Once you’ve reached the point where your tooth is throbbing in pain, there’s not much you can do to relieve the pressure on your own. It’s time to schedule a dental visit – fast.
But if you don’t have dental insurance, it’s not that simple. Paying for dental care on your own can be a costly proposition. Dental insurance policies often require higher monthly premiums and deductibles, and many American families, already burdened by medical debt and escalating cost of living expenses, simply can’t afford them.
imagesThere is a strong correlation between our overall health and our oral health. Over time if we neglect our oral health, we can develop severe gum disease, which has been found to play a role in other chronic medical conditions, including diabetes and heart disease. It can lower your body’s ability to fight infections, which can lead to additional health problems.
AmeriPlan offers affordable discount dental plans as low as $14.95 for individuals and $19.95 for families to help you save money on your dental costs. These low cost dental plans can be used right away, a benefit if you are currently suffering from excruciating tooth pain or need emergency dental work.

As an AmeriPlan member, you simply make a dental appointment with one of our more than 30,000 dental providers within the AmeriPlan network. You’ll receive discounted savings off the price of many common dental procedures, including cleanings, exams, x-rays, crowns, root canals and more. Discounts range from 25 percent to 80 percent off the regular prices.
Your AmeriPlan discount dental plan membership can be used as often as needed, unlike many dental insurance plans which often carry a maximum annual cap.
