Dental examination subsidies

Not just affecting the mouth, periodontal disease is known to promote various conditions throughout the body, including diabetes and hardening of the arteries.
Fighting periodontal disease is vital to preventing and controlling lifestyle-related conditions.
To encourage insured persons to receive dental examinations at their regular dentists, the Society provides subsidies to insured persons for the costs of dental examinations (copayments) received at their preferred dentists.
