Dental, Vision, Life & Disability Insurance
To compliment group medical and prescription benefits many employers offer company-paid insurance for dental, vision, life and disability. These benefits have been proven to help attract and retain highly qualified individuals and increase overall employee satisfaction.

IMPORTANCE OF ORAL HEALTH
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.
Such diseases include:
- Diabetes
- Leukemia
- Oral cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Heart disease
- Kidney disease
Since most people have regular oral examinations, their dentist may be the first health care provider to diagnose a health problem in its early stages. Seeing a dentist regularly helps to keep your mouth in top shape and allows your dentist to watch for developments that may point to other health issues. A dental exam can also detect poor nutrition and hygiene, growth and development problems and improper jaw alignment. Provide your dentist with a complete medical history and inform him or her of any recent health developments, even if they seem unrelated to your oral health.
