Word of Mouth

Dental issues in kids can accelerate fast. By cutting out the wait times involved with the referral process, DeltaCare^® USA makes it easier for children through age 13 years to receive focused care from a pediatric dentist sooner, helping avoid more serious problems later.
 

Why it matters?

• Consistency is key: Kids can keep seeing the dentist they are most comfortable with for a longer period of time. High-quality preventive care allows parents to stay on top of minor dental issues and avoid major treatment-related costs in the future.
• Busy schedules, no problem: Parents can schedule an appointment directly with an in-network pediatric dentist based on their availability, making it more convenient to fit dental visits between ballet lessons and soccer practice.
• C for Comfort: Pediatric dentists are trained to work with children, so kids may feel more comfortable in a dental office environment designed for their needs, promoting positive dental experiences.

What employers can do to promote children's dental health this February (and beyond)

1. Discuss the importance of early oral health. Maintaining good dental health from an early age reduces risks of costly dental procedures later in life.
2. Encourage employees to take advantage of dental benefits that cover children’s preventive care like cleanings and general check-ups.
3. Send out email newsletters or put up posters in common areas to raise awareness of the importance of preventive dental check-ups. Coverage that includes high-quality pediatric care can reduce out-of-pocket expenses for families, improving employee satisfaction and overall productivity.
4. Share resources, wellness challenges or online workshops with guest dentists and plan representatives during Children’s Dental Health Month. Employees can hear straight from professionals the value of early dental care, how to access coverage for kids’ dental needs and all the latest updates we’ve made to improve their plan.

Help parents stay on top of their kids’ oral health

Anyone with kids between 3 and 13 knows the struggles of establishing healthy dental habits. Share these resources by the American Dental Association with your employees, and help them establish a regular (and dare we say, fun) brushing routine for their little ones.
