Can I Use My FSA, HRA, or HSA to Pay For My Oralucent Pro Edition and Brush Heads?
At Oralucent, our mission is to cut gum disease in half. Given that gum disease affects more than 47% of adults over the age of 35, it’s not just a goal—it’s a necessity. You may be wondering if you can use your flexible spending account (FSA), health reimbursement arrangement (HRA), or health savings account (HSA) to pay for your Oralucent Pro Edition and replacement brush heads. The answer is yes—in many cases, you can.
Understanding Eligibility for FSA, HRA, and HSA Funds
FSA, HRA, and HSA accounts are designed to cover medical expenses not fully reimbursed by insurance. To use these funds for Oralucent products, you typically need a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from your healthcare provider. This letter is a straightforward document that states your diagnosis (e.g., gum disease, gingivitis, or periodontal disease) and recommends Oralucent as part of your treatment plan.
Since nearly half of adults over 35 have some form of gum disease, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the likelihood of qualifying for these funds is high. Symptoms such as bleeding gums, inflammation, and sensitivity are early warning signs. Left untreated, gum disease often progresses into periodontal disease which is painful and expensive to treat. Addressing these issues with the Oralucent Pro Edition, which combines light therapy and sonic brushing technology, can significantly improve your oral health and potentially reverse the progression of gum disease. Always consult your dentist and hygienist on the optimal strategy to treat your gum disease and oral health.
Why Oralucent is a Smart Investment for Gum Disease
Oralucent’s advanced light therapy technology is clinically designed to target and combat gum disease. The red light penetrates gum tissue to reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and trains your gums to fight bacteria. In a variety of studies this has been shown to aid in wound healing. The blue light selectively kills harmful bacteria and aides in teeth whitening.
If you have sensitive teeth or gums or are sensitive to vibration, the Pro Edition can be used in manual mode. In manual mode, it does not vibrate. The light and your gentle brushing action does all the work. If you want to maximize the Pro Edition’s effectiveness, it can be used in one of four sonic modes with up to 40,000 strokes per minute which has been shown to remove up to 10x the plaque. For those managing gingivitis or more advanced periodontal disease, this innovation goes beyond ordinary brushing, making it a valuable tool in your oral care arsenal.
When combined with proper brushing technique, flossing, twice-annual cleanings with a dental hygienist, and regular dental checkups, Oralucent may help prevent costly procedures like scaling, root planing, or even surgery. Investing in a product, such as the Oralucent Pro Edition light therapy toothbrush, that promotes healthier gums now could save you thousands of dollars in dental bills later.
The Importance of Replacing Brush Heads
To ensure the most effective cleaning, it’s essential to replace your Oralucent Pro Edition brush heads every three months. Regular replacement helps maintain optimal performance byvensuring the bristles remain in good condition for thorough cleaning. The good news is that replacement brush heads are also eligible for FSA, HRA, and HSA coverage when documented as part of your treatment plan.
