Health Insurance - Dental In addition to protecting your smile, dental insurance helps pay for dental care and usually includes regular checkups, cleanings, and X-rays. Several studies suggest that oral diseases, such as periodontitis (gum disease), can affect other areas of your body—including your heart. Receiving regular dental care can protect you and your family from the high cost of dental disease and surgery. We are keeping Guardian as our dental provider for 2024.
