Basic dental insurance policies typically include dental coverage for check-ups, teeth cleanings, restorative care, X-rays and tooth extractions.
MHC Dental Insurance is a dental plan designed to provide comprehensive dental coverage for policy holders. MHC offers a range of employee benefits that can help cover routine check-ups, preventive treatments such as fluoride treatment and dental sealants, and even complex procedures such as root canals, depending on your plan. This makes it easier for you to keep up with regular dental care, reducing the financial burden of dental treatments.
