Dental offices have reopened with strict safety protocols in place. Providers are limiting the number of patients scheduled per day, taking temperature checks at the door, doing even more cleaning than usual between appointments and wearing personal protective equipment (PPE). If you’re concerned, you should talk to your provider to ensure they are complying with these standards.
For some people, dental visits are especially critical. Consider scheduling an exam if you:
Conditions in young mouths can change quickly — and who wants a toothache on top of school stress? Young people’s oral health can also be impacted by risk factors such as diet, smoking, alcohol and piercings.
If you still prefer not to visit the dentist in person, you can connect through FaceTime®, Skype® or Zoom. This allows the dentist to look into your mouth virtually and offer treatment advice and/or a prescription. Video visits are especially helpful for follow-up or emergency appointments. Any oral evaluation covered under our dental plans will be reimbursed regardless of whether it is performed virtually or in person.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Aetna® will pay for emergency dental care at the in-network level regardless of where services are rendered.
