HEALTHY SMILES
Healthy Smiles with Delta Dental
A
healthy smile is important — not only for your oral
health but for your overall health, too.
Because your mouth is the gateway to your entire body,
it’s a great place to harbor bacteria, which could lead to
tooth decay, gum disease, and much more. As a result, adults lose
164 million hours of work each year due to dental-related illness. 1
Regular dental exams can help spot early signs of dental disease,
when treatment may be simpler and more affordable. 2 In fact,
every dollar you spend on preventive care, such as brushing and
dental cleanings, may save you money later in restorative care and
emergency procedures. 3
Plus, during a routine oral exam, dentists can detect 120 signs and
symptoms of nondental disease, including cancer, diabetes, heart
disease, kidney disease, and more. 4
Dental care is personal. It’s important that you find a dentist you
are comfortable with, have a good at-home oral health routine, and
have dental benefits that work for you.
