Part of the argument for going to the dentist regularly is that problems may be spotted while they can still be treated with relatively inexpensive procedures (for example, a filling instead of a root canal).

Some dental plans pay in full for preventive care visits (often twice a year) for this reason. The insurance companies know that if they can get the patient into the dental office twice a year, the overall cost of treatment will be LOWER, even though they have to cover the cost of the preventive care visit.
