Teeth get all the attention, but maintaining a healthy set of gums is just as essential to better health… and not only oral health, but overall health as well. Regular dental checkups, as those available through MedBen PreceDent, play a crucial role in keeping gums disease-free.
Gums provide a protective barrier around your teeth and help anchor them in place. When neglected, gum disease can develop, leading to mouth pain and tooth loss. It can also be a contributing factor to diabetes, heart disease, stomach ailments, and even dementia.
During checkups, a professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar, preventing gum inflammation and more severe conditions like periodontitis. Dentists also check for early signs of gum issues, allowing for timely intervention to avoid further damage.
Adding MedBen PreceDent fully-insured dental coverage to your benefits package is an inexpensive way to promote healthier gums and teeth while complementing your other wellness offerings. This dental plan advances preventive care through regular exams while providing restorative care at a reasonable price.
Available as a stand-alone service or as part of a total health benefits package, MedBen PreceDent offers valuable care that goes beyond the checkup. Call MedBen Marketing to learn more.
