Does good dental hygiene affect more than your teeth?
A report from the Harvard School of Public Health revealed a strong link between periodontal disease and pancreatic cancer. Dental insurance & proper dental care are becoming ever more important to an overall disease management program.
Dental Insurance and Disease Management
Dental insurance is consistently one of the most popular employee benefits, and its inclusion in employee benefit plans is on the rise. Most employers now understand that dental insurance is not just a "nice to have" benefit but is increasingly viewed as a critical part of a disease management program. In addition, employees who regularly use their dental insurance benefits for routine cleanings & preventive care need fewer expensive procedures, such as dental implants, later on in life.
