Learn about dental coverage from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, how dental plans can help cover costs not covered by your medical plan, and how to choose the right dental plan

Protection for your overall health

Proper dental care can do more than keep your teeth healthy. Studies show that gum disease has been linked to serious conditions, such as heart disease, stroke and Type 2 diabetes. Finding problems early can lead to easier, more effective and less costly treatment. Blue Cross Dental plans include important preventive benefits like regular dental checkups and cleanings.

Dental plans for employers

More choice in plans and providers

Blue Cross Dental plans are available on their own or with a vision or medical plan for all-in-one convenience. You also have a variety of plans to choose from to meet your health needs, budget and preferences.

Blue Cross Dental plans feature a large local and national network of dentists. Whether at home or traveling the country, you’re covered when you choose a provider in the network.

Focus on prevention

Our plans are designed to help members catch dental issues early, while they’re easier and less costly to treat.

  • All plans cover preventive services
  • With the Preventive Incentive option available on some plans, preventive services do not count toward the annual maximum, further promoting regular dental visits and stretching benefit dollars
  • Dental exams can help prevent gum disease, a common condition linked to heart disease, stroke and Type 2 diabetes

The complete health plan package

Dental plans are a popular benefit among employees, and a dental plan from Blue Cross can help complete your health care benefit offerings.

Dental insurance is the second most requested benefit among employees, after medical insurance and retirement. This should come as no surprise considering dental plans make it easier and more affordable to stay healthy. Studies have shown that five of the top 10 health conditions that cost companies the most money are linked directly to oral health: diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer and high-risk pregnancy.

Employers have the power to keep their employees healthy while managing the bottom line. Offering a dental plan gives employees the chance to take care of their oral health and their overall health.
