Dental

Dental insurance is a type of health insurance that helps cover the costs of dental care, including routine checkups, cleanings, fillings, and more complex procedures like crowns, root canals, or orthodontics. It typically operates on a preventive care model, encouraging regular visits to the dentist to avoid more serious issues. Coverage varies based on the plan, with many offering a tiered structure where preventive care is fully covered, while restorative and major procedures might require co-pays or deductibles. Dental insurance is often available through employers, government programs, or private insurers.
