To complement group medical and prescription benefits many employers offer company-paid or voluntary insurance for dental and vision. These benefits have been proven to help attract and retain highly qualified individuals and increase overall employee satisfaction.
Dental
Regular dentist visits can do more than keep your smile attractive, they can tell dentists a lot about your overall health, including whether or not you may be developing a disease like diabetes.
New research suggests that the health of your mouth mirrors the condition of your body as a whole. For example, when your mouth is healthy, chances are your overall health is good, too. On the other hand, if you have poor oral health, you may have other health problems.
Research also shows that good oral health may actually prevent certain diseases from occurring.
Other research shows that more than 90 percent of all systemic diseases (diseases involving many organs or the whole body) have oral manifestations, including swollen gums, mouth ulcers, dry mouth and excessive gum problems.
