This helps to ensure that employees to stay in work and stay healthy. Early detection of problems allows for less-invasive and more affordable treatment down the road, and less staff absenteeism.

Extensive research demonstrates the strong link between oral health and overall well-being. Untreated conditions like gum disease can exacerbate existing medical conditions, including diabetes and heart disease. By promoting preventive care, dental insurance contributes to a healthier lifestyle and reduces the likelihood of sickness absence in employees and their dependants.
4. Boost Productivity and Reduce Absenteeism:
The Journal of Dental Nursing reports that 3 in 10 people take time off due to toothache, leading to millions of lost working days annually. Dental pain and discomfort are significant productivity disruptors. By making treatments more accessible and affordable, insurance plans can minimise employee absenteeism and reduced productivity due to illness.
