Did you know that this insurance doesn't cost ADA student members a penny?
It's true - Eligible ADA student members can receive $50,000 of ADA Student Members Term Life
Insurance at no cost! This is a big deal because you won't have to pay any premiums for your life insurance
while you're a dental student or resident.
But why do I need life insurance now?
You have the opportunity to earn a substantial income while practicing dentistry, but income is only one
part of your financial future. Picture this, you want to purchase a dental practice, but don't have hundreds
of thousands of dollars. So, you'll probably need a significant loan, which would require collateral. Dentists
routinely use life insurance as collateral for a practice loan. Get this protection in place now while you're
still young and healthy, and you'll be better prepared for the next big step.
The sooner you start, the sooner you will be protected.
Life insurance is an essential tool for managing long-term financial risk, as well as building your financial
future. Some of the ways you can leverage your ADA members annually renewable life insurance:
-
Debt protection: ADA members annually renewable life insurance protects your family by helping to
pay off your student loans in the event of your death
-
Dental practice start-up and/or acquisition financing: ADA members annually renewable life insurance
serves as collateral for a loan to build or buy your own dental practice
-
Protecting your insurability: getting ADA members annually renewable life insurance now enables you
to be protected and stay protected while your career advances, regardless of your health as you get older
Features of the ADA Student Members Term Life Insurance Plan include:
-
$50,000 of Term Life insurance
-
$50,000 of Accidental Death coverage
-
Ability to apply for extra insurance for yourself, or your spouse, at

Why do I need insurance now, before I start practicing?
"I thought it was a smart move to get my insurance portfolio started while I was
in dental school. I knew that when I got out of school, I would need to borrow money
to buy a house and possibly new equipment for my practice. The fact that I had insurance
would show creditors that I was financially responsible."
