Did you know that when you join the Blue Cross and Blue Shield network of health coverage, dental coverage is included in many of your options? And, with the Dental Blue® plan, you are able to use the services of any licensed dentist in North Carolina.

Why add a group dental plan?

Adding a Blue® dental plan to your NC group medical insurance offers many benefits, including:

Healthier employees

Research suggests a link between good oral hygiene and overall wellness. Healthier employees have better job performance and less sick days. According to the American Dental Association, dental disease and discomfort are frequently overlooked reasons for employee absences and poor work
performance.

Members don’t pay a deductible for check-ups or diagnostic and preventive services

This is a huge benefit for your employees. Most people are reluctant to see a doctor if they know they are going to incur costs right upfront.

Check-ups and cleanings are covered twice per benefit period

As they say, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” People who benefit from regular visits to the dentist are less likely to run into major problems.

Members can visit any licensed dentist they choose
There are no “in-network” restrictions. Everyone has a dentist that they love. The beauty of this program is that you don’t have to stop going to him!
