Choose a FEDVIP dental plan that helps protect your overall health

Oral health is directly connected to overall health. Tooth decay and gum disease are often found in combination with chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and autoimmune disorders. Some of the medications used to manage these conditions can affect your teeth and gums.

Delta Dental's FEDVIP plans are built with that in mind. Our dental coverage is designed to work in step with your broader health needs, and we’re adding additional coverage to help people manage these conditions.
