Take advantage of your Insurance
It’s January 20th. By now, the holiday decorations are (mostly) packed away, your gym membership has already seen a few solid workouts, and your Starbucks app has been reloaded. But there is a hidden "gift card" in your wallet—one worth hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars—that you likely haven’t touched yet.
If you have dental insurance through your employer, your benefits likely reset on January 1st. In the eyes of your primal brain, this isn't just "insurance coverage"—it’s earned money. And in the dental world, if you don’t use that "gift card" by the end of the year, it doesn’t roll over. It simply vanishes.
The "Gift Card" You Already Earned
Whether you work for the CBE (Calgary Board of Education), the CSSD, or you’re part of the WestJet crew commuting from Beddington or Huntington Hills, you work hard for your benefits.
Think of your dental plan as a pre-paid health account. When you skip your January check-up, you aren’t "saving" the insurance company money; you’re just leaving your own compensation on the table.
Why January is the Best Time to Use It:
- Maximum Annual Limits: Your "bucket" of coverage is full. If you’ve been thinking about a larger treatment—like Invisalign or a crown—starting now allows you to maximize your 2026 limits.
- The "First Pick" of Saturdays: Our Saturday clinics fill up fast as the year goes on. By booking now, you get the prime spots before the "end-of-year-rush" hits in November.
- Prevention is Cheaper Than Cure: Using your "free" cleanings now prevents that ["cracked windshield" emergency] we talked about earlier this month.
