The Importance Of Having Dental Insurance

By Maryl Joop


Dental insurance is something that many people choose to opt out of simply due to the fact that it is more money out of their paychecks every single month. Others, who may not have insurance provided to them through their employers definitely struggle to afford the steeper premiums that come with private insurance. Yet, every single person who has had to pay out of pocket for dental work can tell you how much cheaper it would have been for them to simply pay for the insurance. Let's take a look at dental insurance and consider some options for making it affordable.

New Laws First, it is important to understand how dental coverage fits into the new Affordable Care Act that has gone into effect with the New Year. Adults are not required to carry dental coverage for themselves, but by law it is required for children to have coverage through the age of 19. The specific details of these laws and how they are implemented will differ from state to state and you can find more information through your state's insurance resource websites. Dental coverage for adults is something you have to opt into as it will not be automatically provided under the basic ACA health plans.

Safety As mentioned above, the laws regarding use and insurance of these off-road vehicles will differ from state to state. Before you purchase one or more of them, make sure that you are very aware of the laws regulating the operation of them. Know what the age restrictions are and be aware where you are and are not allowed to operate the vehicle within the bounds of the law. Regulations are less strict for these types of vehicles than they are for cars on the road and so operating them can actually be more dangerous and accident prone depending on where you use them most often. Some states do allow you to operate them on the road and that does require a more comprehensive insurance policy.

Coverage Most states require that you carry at least basic liability insurance on all of your off-road vehicles especially if you intend to operate them on public land. If you are using them for recreational use, you can be pretty sure that you'll be on public land at some point. Carefully go over your options before purchasing your policy so that you know exactly what will be covered. If the vehicle is totaled or if you injure another person while driving the vehicle, you want to make sure that your insurance can cover the cost of replacement and any medical care that any involved party may need. You also want to make sure that you are covered if another person is uninsured and injures your or damages your vehicle in an accident.

Conversely, those who don't have insurance may not visit and could experience health complications as a result of poor oral hygiene. Recent studies have begun to discover significant links between oral hygiene and things like headaches, stomach cramps, fatigue, and more. Ultimately, the choice is yours, but before you decide to not pay for dental insurance, you should research your options and speak to an insurance agent to see how much you would actually pay for the policy.

If you install any upgrades or external equipment onto your ATV, you want to make sure that your policy covers those as well. Give your provider a call to find out the details regarding what they will and will not cover. And remember, some discounts and savings you won't know about unless you ask for them. No matter what, safety should be your first priority when operating off road vehicles and insurance should always be part of your safety policy.
