Dental Blue Select helps you help employees take care of their dental health, which in turn affects their total health. Research has confirmed a connection between periodontal disease - infection of the gums and bone that support the teeth - and many health conditions including heart, lung, cardiovascular and arterial disease, and pre-term birth rates and delivery of low-birth-weight infants.1 That's why Dental Blue Select is so valuable. With a good dental plan, you can minimize the number of days employees may take off work due to preventable dental problems or related complications. We offer three plans - Standard, Complete and Enhanced - with low rates, easy payments through payroll deduction and a lifetime deductible of only $100. And, there are no network limitations - employees visit the dentists of their choice! You can choose to partially fund employee dental coverage or offer dental coverage for which benefits are 100 percent employee paid. Group plan highlights
