In a 2017 report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, dental trauma accounts for less than 1% of injuries in the workplace. This number seems insignificant compared to other injuries in the workplace. However, dental injuries are still traumatic. They may not be as common as other workers compensation claims, but they can be just as challenging, complex, and costly. Dental injury is a type of workers compensation claim that can be property handled with a specialized dental management approach. If dental claims are not properly managed and addressed, it can negatively affect the outcome of the claim while also causing a delay in the injured worker’s recovery. This is why your provider network should be experienced with dental claims management.. A vast and well-connected medical provider network is important for workers’ compensation patients. First, a credible dental practitioner is needed to evaluate the injured patient’s condition. Next, they must present a treatment and recovery plan that will restore the worker’s functionality to pre-injury status without any unnecessary delay. The sooner the worker can recover and go back to the workplace, the better. This depends on the ability to find a reputable and experienced dentist with clinical expertise for complex dental conditions.
