<\/a>As the clock ticks down on 2013, you have less and less time to use your current dental benefits for important care. Once 2014 arrives, your current benefits will be replaced by a fresh deductible and yearly maximum, and possibly new co-pays and premium too.\r\n\r\nBut right now, there\u2019s still time to take advantage of the benefits you have left to get help paying for an important general<\/a> or restorative<\/a> service. Patients who have only seen Dr. Latner<\/a> once, or not at all, this year should especially think about setting up an appointment.\r\n\r\nWhy are regular appointments so important?\r\n\r\nBecause when bacteria and plaque are allowed to build up around teeth, they can cause cavities and gum disease. Regular checkups give Dr. Latner<\/b> of Westside Dental Associates<\/b> a chance to get rid of this buildup so teeth are better protected. Routine visits also make it possible for Dr. Latner<\/b> to diagnose common oral health problems before they have a chance to become serious.\r\n\r\nDo you have dental benefits you haven\u2019t used yet? Call<\/a> Westside Dental Associates<\/b> today to schedule one more appointment for 2013. We serve patients from Los Angeles<\/b>, Santa Monica<\/b>, Beverly Hills<\/b>, West LA<\/b>, Mar Vista<\/b>, and surrounding areas.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the clock ticks down on 2013, you have less and less time to use your current dental benefits for important care.
