I am under the care of a periodontist and have my teeth cleaned twice a year at the periodontist’s office and twice a year at my regular dentist’s office. Will the plan cover all of my cleanings?
The A&M Dental plan as well as the DeltaCare USA plan cover the reasonable and customary cost of two cleanings per year (one cleaning every six months for DeltaCare USA), whether the cleanings are done at a regular dentist’s office or a periodontist’s office. If you have your teeth cleaned more often, you must pay the cost of the additional cleanings. The plan pays for two cleanings a year because that is the standard number of cleanings recommended by most dentists for most patients. To get a periodontal cleaning covered for preventive care, you will need to provide information to Delta that you have previously had other periodontal work done such as scaling and root planing.
