Oral Health and Heart Risk

There are correlations between oral health and heart health. According to the National Library of Medicine, oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream through gums and then can trigger inflammation throughout the body. Delta Dental, UNI’s dental plan provider, recently provided a Benefits Spotlight highlighting resources and facts surrounding heart disease and oral health.  UNI’s self-insured dental plan offers two preventive exams covered at 100%, per person, per year. Additionally, UNI’s dental plan offers Enhanced Benefits which provides extra covered teeth cleanings for those with certain conditions. If you haven’t, be sure to schedule your first preventive exam soon.
