DentaQuest | Oral Health Matters
by
1y ago
When addiction and substance abuse come to mind, most people imagine damage to the lungs, stomach, heart or brain — not injury to teeth or gums. Unfortunately, drug use damages a user’s teeth and gums, creates ulcers in the mouth, and can result in a loss of teeth or costly treatments. And while there is a heavy focus on providing health care during recovery, oral health is often overlooked. DentaQuest recently had the chance to talk to Julie Burns, the president and CEO at the RIZE Massachusetts Foundation, an independent nonprofit foundation working to end the opioid epidemic in Massachuset ..read more

Consider Medicare Advantage, a Medicare Part C program that allows Medicare beneficiaries to choose a plan to supplement their traditional Medicare coverage. Over the la ..read more

At DentaQuest, we are committed to improving oral health care for all — from infants to elders. And the best time to start teaching and promoting the importance of good oral health habits is when kids are young, because it’s never too early to learn that healthy habits equal healthy teeth. Introducing the basics of oral health care — partnered with routine dentist appointments — at an early age is important because tooth decay can begin as soon as a child’s first tooth grows in, usually around six months. If left untreated, tooth decay can cause pain and infections that can result in serious ..read more

At DentaQuest, we know that improving the oral health of all starts with providing equitable access to dental care for all. Considering that nearly 74 million Americans lack dental benefits, there is a lot of work to be done to break down barriers to care. Without access, consumers can’t get essential preventive dental care and education, which contributes to a higher risk of chronic health issues beyond the mouth. It’s why DentaQuest’s Preventistry® approach to achieving good oral health is centered on preventive education, expanding access and solutions that drive quality of care over quant ..read more
