Question

why do many employer - sponsored dental insurance plans encourage visits to the dental office twice a year for routine exams and cleanings? a. patients do not receive any coverage for routine exams and cleanings. b. to make more money by increasing the number of teeth that will have to be pulled. c. regular cleaning and checkups can reduce the cost of expensive dental work. d. the dental plans were written by dentists and are designed to increase their profits.

Explanation:

Regular dental check - ups and cleanings can detect early - stage issues like cavities or gum disease. Treating these early is less expensive than dealing with advanced problems such as tooth extractions or root canals. This is beneficial for both the insurance company (lower costs) and the patient (better oral health). Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the main reason.

Answer:

C. Regular cleaning and checkups can reduce the cost of expensive dental work.
