The Pregnancy Benefit –

Improved Dental Insurance Coverage During Pregnancy

At United Concordia Dental, we recognize the impact your oral health can have on the overall health of both you and your baby. This is why most of our plans provide improved dental insurance coverage during pregnancy.

If your plan includes the Pregnancy Benefit, you can receive one additional covered dental cleaning during pregnancy. You’ll also have more coverage on periodontal services to help manage all stages of gum disease during pregnancy, including:

• Gingivitis – A mild form of gum disease more likely to occur during pregnancy*
• Periodontitis – A serious condition linked to both prematurity and low birth weight babies*

 

Service	Coverage with the Pregnancy Benefit
Cleaning (one additional during pregnancy)	100%
Periodontal Maintenance (one additional during pregnancy)
Scaling & Root Planing
Periodontal Surgery — four procedures*

*Four procedures related to gingival flap or osseous surgeries
