According to the National Association of Dental Plans, approximately 249.1 million people in the United States have dental benefits — or about 77% of the population. Two thirds of that number receives benefits through private insurance.
Despite the high coverage of dental benefits in the US, some sources still estimate that as many as 1 in 3 Americans do not see a dentist each year. That’s despite the fact that most dental insurance plans completely cover two checkups and cleanings.
All the kids have dressed up as awesome superheroes and cutesy, glittery princesses to collect candy from door to door. That’s right, it’s time for Halloween! Trick-or-treating has been a tradition for years and years and the last thing that you want to do is be the house in your neighborhood that gives away apples and granola bars.
Even your dentist in Annapolis knows not to give away too many healthy snacks during the holiday season, or else it’s safe to say you could expect a few toilet paper rolls hanging from the trees in your front yard the next morning. Instead of ruining the spirit of Halloween, try giving away these candies that might save little teeth from dental damage.
