\"\"<\/a>It may seem hard to believe, but 2013 is rapidly coming to a close. Before the year is over, the staff at Dr. King Scott\u2019s office<\/a> recommends that our patients take the time to review their insurance plans to make sure they took full advantage of their dental insurance benefits<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been delaying a dental checkup appointment, now is a good time to come in because this is one of the services covered by most dental insurance <\/strong>plans. This is a fundamental component of good oral health. Also, if you\u2019ve been putting off any dental work and it\u2019s either covered by your plan or you\u2019ve met your deductible, now is the time to schedule those appointments. Your plan\u2019s coverage will not roll over at the end of the year, so any benefits that you do not use will be lost.<\/p>\n

Every dental insurance <\/strong>plan is different, so it\u2019s important to check with your insurance company to make sure you fully understand everything that\u2019s available to you. You can also call our office for additional clarifications. We want to make sure that our patients are keeping their smiles shining bright by taking full advantage of their dental benefits<\/strong>. The end of the year is often a busy time filled with holidays and other events, so make sure you schedule your appointment today.<\/p>\n

Dr. King Scott\u2019s West Monroe, LA dental office <\/strong>wants all our patients to have beautiful, healthy smiles. We serve patients from\u00a0Monroe, Ruston, Rayville, Farmersville, Columbia, Winnsboro, Delhi, South Arkansas, <\/strong>and all of greater North Louisiana. <\/strong>Call us<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>today to schedule an appointment!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
