How Small Businesses Can Use Dental Benefits to Support Employee Wellness

In our busy world, with so much emphasis on healthy habits, how often does oral care get the attention it deserves?

Providing your team with dental health benefits not only supports better hygiene and brighter smiles but also boosts confidence that carries into their work. However, a dental plan is most effective when your team knows how to make the most of it!?

Clear, friendly communication is key to helping employees maximize their benefits. Making your package easy to understand shows you genuinely care for their well-being, which is crucial for attracting and retaining top talent.

As an employer, you have the power to spark your team’s interest in using their dental coverage. So, how can you do it?

Highlight oral health importance and coverage value

Educate your team on the significance of oral health by emphasizing its connection to overall well-being.

Explain how regular dental check-ups serve as preventative care for catching and treating oral health problems early on before they worsen, thus avoiding the high costs of complex treatment.

Highlight the convenience of their dental coverage, which provides easy access to a wide network of dentists and specialists nearby. With conveniently located clinics nearby, it's never been easier to get the dental care they need.

Communicate dental perks regularly

Introduce this program to your team early on and ensure it stays relevant through frequent updates. Start the conversation during onboarding and continue it year-round.

Email reminders can be a great way to keep dental benefits top of mind, ensuring employees don’t forget to schedule their dentist appointments.

Make benefits clear and simple

Ensure your team understands how their plan works and the value of maximizing their coverage. Simplify any jargon and use relatable examples to make it easier to understand.

Let them know who to contact for help, whether HR or the insurance provider, and consider offering a visual guide with steps for finding in-network dentists or submitting claims.
