Dental Coverage
Coordinated Group Dental Benefits
As a part of our process, while reviewing your healthcare packages independently we will work hard to find the right dental plan for your firm.
Are dental benefits part of your compensation plan? Here are some good reasons why they may be good for your business:
Popular with employees
Dental insurance is one of the most highly sought benefits an employer can offer. Nearly 80% of Americans say it is important to have dental insurance provided by a prospective employer.
A significant percentage of employees will sign up for dental plans even if they must pay the entire cost of the program, with no employer contribution.
Cost-effective for you
Dental benefits reduce the possibility of dental emergencies for employees and their families, keeping people on the job rather than in the dentist’s chair.
Every $1 spent on prevention in oral health care saves $8 to $50 on restorative and emergency procedures.
Working Americans lose an estimated 164 million hours annually to dental disease or dental visits. Children lose an additional 51 million hours of school to dental-related illness, causing more lost work time as parents tend to their children’s needs.
Good Checkups Mean Good Health
Dental health affects some of the body’s most essential functions, including speaking, chewing and swallowing.
Studies have indicated relationships between periodontal diseases and systemic illnesses, such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory illness, diabetes and pregnancy complications. Research also confirms
that regular visits to the dentist may help in the early detection of serious physical illnesses, such as diabetes.
Because people with dental insurance visit their dentists more often, they are more likely to avoid serious oral health problems that are expensive and time-consuming to treat. Dentists have always recommended preventive care, and dental insurance is set up to emphasize prevention and early detection. At a time when increases in medical premiums are squeezing other benefits, this cost control.
