Additional Benefits

• Maternity Benefit
  Research shows that poor oral health is linked to premature and low-birthweight babies[1], and so the benefits of routine dental checkups are clear. This is why Omega Dental has the foresight to reduce risks by offering a maternity benefit that adds an additional cleaning during pregnancy.
• Omega Wellbeing Program
  Studies [2], [3] have shown that the medical costs for people with certain chronic conditions can be reduced if they receive and maintain treatment for gum disease, and unfortunately, a majority of the population has gum disease. For this reason, we have designed a Wellbeing program to provided enhanced coverage and deliver specialized education and awareness for those suffering from heart disease, diabetes and stroke.

The basics of good dental care are simple, and with the lessons and recommendations of your dentist, you could see improvements in not only your dental health, but your overall health as well as a reduction in your overall medical costs.
