Dental health and mental health are linked in more ways than one.

Poor oral health can lead to low self-esteem, triggering social anxiety and impacting relationships, and job interviews. The opposite is also true as stress, anxiety, and low mood can impact the health of our teeth and gums. The great news is, U.S. employers recognize this—99% offer dental coverage and 90% offer mental health coverage.* 🙌

Benefits benefit everyone when they adapt to the needs of employees.
