Delta Dental plans for Individuals
Not getting a dental exam means - gum inflammation and tooth decay can quickly develop. Thus:
● Bacteria builds up in untreated. Teeth that will :
-> Create an abscess.
-> spread as infection to the jaw.
-> get into the bloodstream through bleeding gums.
In the worst case, oral bacteria can increase the risk of heart valve infecting!
-> build up as inflammation.
Note: A 20-year study found this has been linked to Alzheimer's disease.
● How common are dental problems? Research tells us:
-> Two out of three individuals have periodontal disease — which leads to the loss of a tooth!
-> Up to 75% have Gingivitis, an early stage of gum disease!
-> 20% over 65 have decay!
A CareQuest survey of 5,682 adults found — "25.1% of people without Dental insurance reported their overall health has gotten worse over the past year."
The Dean at Harvard Dental School stated — inflammation in the gums and mouth can lead to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions.

Buying the Progressive plan provides:
