Most of us do not think a great deal about our teeth unless we’re having problems. We know we should brush and floss twice daily - but because of a hurried schedule, we may rush through the process. Even with the best daily care, due to genetics or other issues, some people may experience pain, decay, and other dental issues.
The health of your practice depends on many factors, not the least of which is a happy and secure staff. When your practice has employees with high morale, they are productive, miss less work, and stay on the job longer; and all these things affect your practice’s profitability. One of the major contributors to low morale is anxiety over personal finances. How can you as a practice owner help your employees feel more secure and valued? One way is through the use of a voluntary benefits program offered by TMA Insurance Trust.
As a physician, you know how important preventive care and early detection is for your patients’ physical health. You likely use these terms so often that they begin to feel clichéd. Still, the truth remains: Health problems are best prevented, and if they can’t be prevented, they should be caught early.
It’s no secret that oral health has a sizable impact on your well being. If you’ve ever experienced a toothache while attending a conference far from home, or needed a crown repair just when you thought your teeth were in tip top shape, you know that dental care is of primary importance.
Caring for your teeth has benefits beyond a happy smile. Recent studies show a direct link between oral health and overall health.
It is no secret – going to the dentist can cost a pretty penny, especially if dental insurance is not in the equation. Because of rising dental costs, more and more people are seeking to acquire an individual dental insurance policy. As a physician, you know the importance of good oral health. Scientific studies continue to show an association between multiple health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, and dental health.
