Adding Your Baby to Your Dental Insurance Policy.
Knowing when to add a newborn to a current dental insurance plan can be challenging. Unlike many major medical insurances, where your baby is added at birth, with dental insurance, you must make sure to add your child usually during open enrollment. For some, that may seem too soon as their baby may not have teeth. However, adding your child to your dental plan is better than waiting another year. The ADA advises children to see a dentist when they cut their first tooth (a baby’s first tooth cuts in around 6 – 8 months) but no later than their first birthday.
