Make the most of your 2025 coverage before the clock resets.
As the year winds down, calendars fill with everything but time—family visits, work deadlines, travel plans, and to-do lists that somehow keep growing. But while you’re busy wrapping up the year, there’s one important thing that often gets overlooked: your dental insurance benefits.
At Avon Dental, we regularly see patients in December who didn’t realize their plan would reset on January 1st—or how much they were leaving on the table by waiting. Whether you’ve been putting off a filling, haven’t used your second cleaning, or didn’t know what your plan still covers, now’s the time to act.
This is your reminder to check in, take advantage of your benefits, and finish the year strong—with a healthier, brighter smile and one less thing to worry about in 2026.
What Typically Expires on December 31?
Most dental insurance plans follow a calendar year, meaning several key benefits reset when the year ends:
Annual Maximums
Dental plans often cap annual coverage between $1,000 to $2,000. If you don’t use that amount by December 31, it does not roll over—it disappears.
Preventive Cleanings & Exams
Most plans include two covered cleanings per year. If you’ve only had one, or skipped both, you’re losing out on paid-for care that helps prevent costly dental issues.
Remaining Treatment Coverage
Have you been told you need a filling or crown? If treatment was recommended but postponed, now is the time to use your remaining benefits before they expire and your deductible resets.
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
If you have an FSA through your employer, those funds often expire at year’s end. Most dental procedures—including cleanings, exams, and even restorative care—qualify.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait
Delaying dental care rarely works in your favor. A small cavity now could become a root canal later. A missed cleaning could turn into gum issues. Even if you feel fine, your teeth and gums may tell a different story under closer inspection.
Using your benefits now isn’t just smart financially—it’s proactive health care.
Here’s what you gain:
- You avoid out-of-pocket costs when your deductible resets in January
- You prevent minor issues from becoming major ones
- You fully utilize what you’ve already paid for through your premiums
- You start the new year with peace of mind and a healthier smile
