Why individual affordable dental insurance is important to overall health
With dental insurance from Anthem, people are more likely to have regular dentist check-ups. Regular dental care is more than just maintaining a healthy smile. In fact, research links poor oral health to diabetes, lung disease and premature births.1 And since more than 90 percent of all systemic diseases have oral manifestations, a dentist may be the first health care provider to diagnose a health problem.2
Fortunately, regular dental check-ups can help detect the early warning signs of certain health-related issues. That's just one reason why it's so important to take good care of your teeth and gums. And having affordable dental insurance and coverage can help make it easy.
