Did You Know?
Here at Matheson Dental we strive to work with many different insurance companies in order to better serve our patients. We have a list of the insurance companies accepted in our office on the right side of this blog and under the Accepted Insurance tab. This list is updated frequently to ensure that the correct information is there for your fast and easy referral.
On occasion there are unique qualifiers that sometimes determine insurance coverage in our office. These qualifiers are not often listed on insurance cards and therefore, can be hard to identify. We would like to provide you with information about these qualifiers to avoid problems that arise from the confusion.
HMO/DMO vs PPO plans: At Matheson Dental we accept plans from all the insurance companies listed on our blog. However, some of these insurance companies participate in different types of plans. Most of these plans have a list of providers from which patients can choose. These types are typically known as PPO, Premier, or regular plans. Some insurance companies also offer HMO or DMO plans. With these plans, a patient may only go to one dentist or doctor who is specified by the insurance company.
We do not participate with HMO plans here at Matheson Dental. Be sure to check on your specific insurance plan to find out what type of plan you have. If you are not sure how to do this or have any questions regarding HMO plans, give us a call. We'd be happy to offer you assistance in any way we can!

Ever Wondered??
Have you ever wondered about the fluoride levels in your drinking water? Why do we need fluoride anyway?
Dr. Matheson provides fluoride treatments and recommends finding out the fluoride levels in your water because proper amounts of fluoride can help fortify tooth enamel, strengthen developing teeth, and help reduce tooth sensitivity. However, excessive amounts of fluoride can be toxic. This is why checking the fluoride levels in your drinking water is so important.
According to utah.health.gov, "Optimal fluoride levels recommended by the U.S. Public Health Service and CDC for drinking water range from 0.7 parts per million (ppm) for warmer climates to 1.2 ppm for cooler climates to account for the tendency for people to drink more water in warmer climates."
To find out about your drinking water, simply visit www.health.utah.gov/oralhealth and click on My water's fluoride. You can also click here to be led directly to the CDC's interactive map.
