Connecting Dental Health With Heart Health
Strange as it sounds, keeping those pearly whites clean and polished can aid in the fight against heart disease. Recent research suggests that gum disease may raise your risk of heart disease. The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste as well as flossing once a day.
The City's dental benefits through Delta Dental cover 100% of diagnostic and preventive services including exams, cleanings and x-rays. In fact, Delta Dental enrollees are covered for two (2) cleanings in a rolling, 12-consecutive month period. Be sure to take time to schedule your routine dental check-up to take care of those pearly whites!
