Home / Dental Benefits to Smile About

It’s easy to put on a smile. It’s not always easy—or affordable—to make sure your smile is healthy and pain free.

At Essence, we want to make sure that anything that affects your health is covered and that also means your teeth. That’s why every Essence plan includes dental coverage for no additional premium.

Did You Know?

Your oral health is more important than you might realize. Problems in your mouth can affect the rest of your body. Oral bacteria and the inflammation associated with a severe form of gum disease might play a role in some diseases such as endocarditis, cardiovascular disease and pneumonia. Conditions like diabetes and osteoporosis can affect your oral health. Taking care of your oral health is an investment in your overall health.
