Miles of Smiles
Did you know that less than 50% of Americans visit a dental office annually? Or that tooth decay, bleeding gums, mouth infections, and bad breath are usually a result of less-than-adequate oral self-care and poor health behavior choices. As one of the most prevalent chronic health concerns, dental illness can impair worker productivity, as well as, escalate health care costs.
Healthy behaviors that promote good oral hygiene ensures more than just a healthy smile. A growing body of reasearch is pointing to healthy oral hygiene habits as an aide in preventing conditions ranging from cardiovascular disease and stroke to bacteria pneumonia.
And while dental insurance coverage does encourage individuals to access dental care, it does not ensure that the individual receives oral health information. This campaign aims to do this by providing the information and tools to make a healthy smile a reality - and to keep those potential health threats at bay. This is the perfect campaign for wellness coordinators looking to take their program to the next level.
