Original article written by Katie Kuehner-Hebert<\/a> for Benefits Pro.<\/a><\/p>\n

Preventative dental care translates into long-term savings. “Employer groups with higher utilization of preventive dental care over a six-year period experienced an 86% reduction in the use of major dental services.”<\/p>\n

“Those with no preventive care for at least two years were 55 percent more likely to reach their dental plan maximum compared to those who received preventive care at least once a year.”<\/p>\n

“We all know this intuitively: If you brush and floss your teeth daily and regularly visit the dentist for a check-up and a professional cleaning, you might just not need that dreaded root canal.<\/p>\n

Moreover,\u00a0employees and\u00a0employer will likely pay less in dental insurance claims for more serious treatments, sums up Guardian\u2019s research brief, \u201cAn ounce of prevention<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The brief cites Guardian\u2019s 5th Annual Workplace Benefits Study, \u201cDental Benefits: A Bridge to Oral Health & Wellness,\u201d which found that employer groups with higher utilization of preventive dental care over a six-year period experienced an 86 percent reduction in the use of major dental services in subsequent years, for a net savings of 16 percent on dental claims costs.<\/p>\n

Dental plan members also saved when getting a check-up and cleaning at least once a year, according to the study. They required less major dental services and, as a result, had lower out-of-pocket costs over a three-year period.<\/p>\n

Those who did this for two years in a row had a $90 decrease in claim costs in the third year. However, members with no preventive care experienced an average increase of $720 in claim costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany working Americans believe that if they brush their teeth and have no pain, then there is no need to see the dentist,\u201d the authors write. \u201cBut Guardian\u2019s recent analysis of claims data shows that plan members who receive at least annual preventive care are more likely to avoid serious oral health problems that require more costly treatment in later years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The study also found that those with no preventive care for at least two years were 55 percent more likely to reach their dental plan maximum compared to those who received preventive care at least once a year. Moreover, about one in four plan members (23 percent) who reach their annual maximum tend to reach it again the following year, and 7 percent hit the maximum in three or more consecutive years.”<\/p>\n
