Dental Insurance
Why is dental health so important?
Regular dental care does more than just improve smiles. Along with good hygiene, it can help you and your family lower your chances of serious health problems.
Maintaining healthy teeth and gums reduces the risk of pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Gum disease has been linked to a 50% increase in pancreatic and kidney cancer risk and a 30% increase in blood cell cancers.
Research has shown, and experts agree, that there is an association between periodontal diseases and other chronic inflammatory conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease.
