Providing dental benefits isn’t just an investment in your employees’ health – it’s an investment in the health of your business. Dental benefits help make preventive care more affordable, creating cost savings for your employees and for you.

How does preventive care create cost savings?

Preventive care, such as visiting the dentist for a routine checkup or cleaning, plays a critical role in detecting and addressing oral health issues before they become more serious problems down the road. Or they can help your team avoid these problems altogether!

TruAssure plans include 100% coverage for preventive care visits, which makes your employees more likely to see the dentist. This creates benefits for your team and for you:

• For your team, these preventive appointments reduce the likelihood of missing work due to oral pain or more extensive dental procedures.
• For employers, reduced oral health risk translates into fewer sick days, lower insurance claims for major treatments, and increased productivity.

Adults in the U.S. lose approximately 243 million work or school hours annually due to oral health problems.[1]

Employers: Help your team seek preventive care

Leadership plays a pivotal role in helping employees take full advantage of their dental benefits. Regularly attending routine care appointments is essential for driving ROI and creating long-term savings.

Here are two effective ways employers can support cost savings through preventive care:

• Promote your benefits: Clearly explain your dental benefit offerings, so employees know what is covered and how to access services.
• Emphasize your support: Let employees know you want them to take the time for preventive care visits, so they can stay healthy, happy, and productive.
