Preventive Care Saves Money

Empowering Smiles: from Ahh to Z with a focus on preventive care

At Delta Dental of Massachusetts, we understand that oral health directly impacts overall health, and we are working towards a system that recognizes that value. Empowering Smiles: from Ahh to Z is our initiative to improve member outcomes through prevention, quality, value, and innovation.

When members don’t get preventive care, they are more likely to suffer from oral pain and tooth decay. For businesses, this translates into unhappy and unproductive employees. It also means that eventually, employees may need to take time away from the office to tend to long-ignored oral health issues.

At the end of the day, if preventive care isn’t a priority for members, their organization will suffer the financial burden. On the flip side, members who do get preventive care tend to have better oral health, and cost less than those who don’t get preventive care.

We encourage our members to use their preventive care benefits because we believe everyone deserves a healthy smile. And we understand the value a healthy workforce brings.
