Employee health is essential for a thriving business. Despite the fact that dental and vision coverage has a significant impact on both employees and businesses, they are often overlooked. Untreated oral health issues can affect overall well-being, yet many people skip routine dental care because they don’t have access to adequate coverage. Dental and vision benefits aren’t just perks, they’re essential tools to support preventive care and productivity.
Employee health and workplace success are closely connected. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), untreated oral diseases take a huge toll on workplaces, with $45 billion lost annually in productivity. That’s a cost that can be avoided with proper routine care. Dental and vision benefits empower employees to prioritize their health. Delta Dental’s 2024 State of America’s Oral Health and Wellness Report showed that 91% of adults recognize dental visits as being as important as annual physicals, demonstrating how important it is to employees that their employers prioritize their oral health.
