Maintaining good oral health is the first line of defense for your well-being. A healthy mouth helps you eat and speak properly, prevent diseases, and contribute to a better quality of life. Good oral health can help prevent problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss. It is also linked to the prevention of more serious health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, infections, pneumonia, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s disease.
That is why having a health plan with dental benefits is so important, such as the one offered by Triple-S Advantage. So, you can visit your dentist for routine cleanings and checkups twice a year. Plus, if you need specialized treatment, you may be able to get it, depending on your coverage. Some basic coverage plans include restorations, crowns for natural teeth or implants, complete or removable dentures, and root canals. There may be times when specialized dental work such as surgery, gum treatment, or oral surgery is required. You can enjoy these benefits with your dental coverage if you are a Triple-S Advantage member. The amount and procedures your plan covers will depend on your chosen coverage.
When deciding which health plan to choose for the coming year, it is important to consider which treatments your dentist recommends for you and when you will need them. Some treatments involve multiple stages of treatment, and dentist visits could span over a year. That is why Triple-S Advantage offers plans to cover these treatments throughout the year. This plan will help you maintain good oral health and get the necessary care when needed.
It is still important to maintain good oral health. To do so, follow these simple tips:
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.
- Use dental floss daily to clean between your teeth.
- Visit the dentist regularly for cleanings and check-ups.
- Try to limit sugary foods and drinks to prevent cavities.
- Don’t smoke or use tobacco products, as they can harm your gums.
- Drink water and consume a balanced diet to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
These tips can help you enjoy health benefits such as: preventing tooth decay and gum disease, improving your breath and smile, and keeping your teeth looking natural for longer. You will also lower the risk of chronic diseases. In the same way that you look after your overall health with visits to the doctor, medication, and a good diet, it is important to take care of your oral health.
