Do You Have Questions About Dental Insurance or Billing Information In Whitby? We Are Here To Make Your Child's Dental Experience Easy

Dental Insurance In Whitby

Dental insurance can be tricky to understand as most insurance policy documents are many pages long. The coverage for each dental service also depends on your individual policy, which can vary greatly if your policy is individual for your family, or one provided by your employer. Luckily, we are here to make sense of insurance policies to ensure your child receives the proper treatment and that your insurance provider covers their share. We may do this by submitting the claims on your behalf, calling your insurance provider to find out more about your coverage limits, or providing you with all the paperwork so you can handle the insurance claims with ease.


It would be helpful for you to know your insurance coverage information before coming in as this will help speed along your child's treatment plans. Some of the questions we usually ask insurance providers include:


  • What is covered?
  • How much is covered?
  • What is the coverage limit amount?
  • Is there a deductible? (if so, how much?)
  • Can I choose other procedures not listed on the plan but are in the same category of treatment?
  • Please provide all the details regarding this specific treatment option (provide treatment option)


It is important to note that insurance carriers do not release information to third parties (including dental clinics) even if we have informed and signed consent. So, we will do our best to ensure you know your limits before any procedures and treatment plans are started. It is also important to note that regardless of the insurance coverage, we do require payment in full once the procedure is complete. We may provide financing options depending on your individual situation and any family who is looking for assistance should speak with our clinic upon booking their child's next visit.


We are committed to ensuring that finances are not a barrier to your child's oral health. Please speak with us directly if you have financial concerns regarding your child's treatment and we will work with you to ensure the best possible outcome. 

The Importance of Proper Oral Care In Whitby

One of the things we all have to do in life is take care of our health, which includes our oral health. As time goes on, there are circumstances that may cause our oral health to become impacted. This could happen due to age, lifestyle habits, or illness. Due to these circumstances, our oral health may have complications which result in the need for further dental intervention. By visiting our dental clinic on a regular basis, this allows us to better track any oral health issues that may be forming and plan a course for treatment.


Prevent and Detect Oral Disease - As your local pediatric dental clinic, our duty is to keep your child's mouth clean from plaque, and to check for any signs of oral distress, including cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. These sorts of oral health issues can affect everyone, no matter their age. This is why we recommend bringing your child in for a dental check-up (also called a recall) every 4-6-months. Semi-annual check-ups allow us to keep your child's mouth clear from debris and to keep an eye on any oral health issues that may be forming.


Prevent Bad Breath - Medical studies indicate that 85% of children with ongoing bad breath (halitosis) are caused by oral health issues that can be prevented. Having an oral hygiene regiment is essential in preventing bad breath which includes routine dental care.


Bright and White Smile - During your child's dental cleaning with our team, we perform a dental exam to have a better understanding of the current state of your child's mouth. This exam allows our team to provide your child with a thorough cleaning and polish of their teeth and gums. Having their teeth cleaned every 4-6-months helps remove plaque and stains from their teeth, which gives them a fresh and bright looking smile.
