Insurance agent helps a patient maximize their dental benefits before they expire

At North River Dental Care, we are committed to providing our patients with affordable dental care. If you have dental insurance, we recommend you to use your benefits to the fullest extent to get your money’s worth and keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy. Call our office to schedule a visit before the end of the year!

Schedule Preventive Care

Have you been to our office at least twice this year? If not, now is the time to schedule your next cleaning and exam. Our schedule tends to start filling up this time of year, so the sooner you can get in touch with our team, the better. Scheduling routine dental cleanings and exams is a great way to diagnose dental issues early on when they are less developed and easier to treat. Cleanings also help prevent issues from developing in the first place. Routine dental visits are covered by your benefits, so there’s no reason not to book an appointment with us!

Maximizing Your Benefits

Our team is on your family’s side when it comes to maximizing your dental benefits and minimizing what you will have to pay out of pocket. If you have any questions or concerns for us, please don’t hesitate to ask! When it comes to restorative treatments, sometimes it can make more sense to divide up your treatments and schedule some for this year and some for early next year to allow you to utilize your benefits now and hold off on some until your benefits renew in January. We can assess your treatment plan and budget to determine if this type of plan makes sense for you and your family.

Consider Other Financing Options

Your benefits may cover the entire cost of your treatment plan, but there may also be services that you want or need that are not completely covered by insurance. In this case, we would use your benefits to their fullest extent and then ask you to choose another payment option to cover the rest. Our office accepts CareCredit®, which can divide the cost of your care into low monthly payments. If you’d rather work with our team directly, we also offer in-house financing. For more information, please contact us today!

Most of us reach for our toothbrushes daily without a second thought. But an old or worn brush can quietly stop doing its job—putting your teeth and gums at risk. At North River Dental Care in Fredericksburg, VA, Dr. Ryan Bailey reminds patients that staying on top of this small task makes a real difference.

Why Toothbrush Age Matters

As bristles wear out, they lose their ability to clean effectively. Frayed or flattened bristles can’t reach plaque hiding near the gumline or between teeth. This can allow buildup that leads to cavities, gum inflammation, or even bad breath. Swapping your brush regularly helps keep your ...
