Using an in-network dental provider may help lower your out-of-pocket costs. 💲

Members should also review their plan details to understand which preventive dental services are included, such as exams, cleaning, and other covered care.

Pre-tax accounts like TexFlex may reimburse some dental services. Please note: Not all dental services are eligible expenses. You will need to submit your dental Explanation of Benefits or detailed receipts to TexFlex for reimbursements. Other cost-saving options may include staying within plan frequency limits and confirming coverage before treatment.

Fluoride plays an important role in helping prevent tooth decay. 💡

Tooth enamel has tiny spaces where acids can settle and begin damaging the tooth. When fluoride encounters enamel, it helps strengthen the surface by reducing those spaces, making teeth less vulnerable to acid and decay. Fluoride toothpaste is an important part of cavity prevention. Along with brushing, flossing, good nutrition, and regular dental visits, fluoride can help support a healthy smile for the whole family
