Studies have shown that gum disease may increase a woman’s risk of having a pre-term delivery of a low birth-weight baby. Researchers suspect that the bacteria that causes periodontal disease can accelerate the production of labor-inducing signals that, in turn, cause premature labor.

As a way of supporting preventive care, improving health and lowering overall costs for members with these and other qualifying medical conditions, we have added a third dental cleaning option. This benefit is available to persons who have had two cleanings during the current benefit period and have:

• Diabetes
• Women in their third trimester of pregnancy
• Renal Dialysis patients
• Suppressed immune system patients (due to chemotherapy, HIV positive, organ transplant, or stem cell/bone marrow transplant)
• Head and neck radiation patients
• High risk cardiac conditions

Benefits will be expanded for members who have any of these conditions and enroll in the Evidence Based Integrated Care Plan. Register Today!
