Happy World Smile Day, October 4!
:DentalPlans Encourages Everyone to Keep Smiling
PLANTATION, FL (Oct. 2, 2014) — Scientists and
doctors agree that the simple act of smiling can transform you and the world
around you. October 4th is World Smile Day, so :DentalPlans encourages
everyone to keep smiling today … and every day.
Science has proven that smiling relieves
stress, lowers blood pressure, reduces pain, boosts your immune system, and
improves your general sense of well-being.
“There is proof that when you smile
at someone and they smile back in return, you are helping to create
physiological changes in their bodies that may benefit them, as well as
yourself,” says Bill Chase, vice president of marketing for :DentalPlans.
Sadly, not all people are
comfortable showing off their smile. According to a study by Oasis Dental Care,
seventy percent of people with bad teeth say it’s negatively affected their
lives. A poorly maintained mouth is making fifteen percent of those polled feel
depressed and is even stopping three percent from leaving the house. Ten
percent of the people polled don’t speak as much as they would if they had
better teeth and seven percent say their love life has been negatively
affected.*
Good oral health and smiling are
fundamental to a person’s wellbeing, but not everyone has dental insurance or
can afford to pay out-of-pocket for dental services. So, what are your options?
Dental Savings Plans can help individuals and families save money and stay
healthy. For example,

Note: This plan is not insurance.
Using the Careington Care 500 Series plan, which costs a low annual fee
of $189.95, a family of four could save $704 just on their annual ADA
recommended treatments alone. That’s $514 in savings, when including the cost
of the plan. And the savings can really add up when considering additional
dental care that may be needed for you and your family, like sealants for
children’s teeth, crowns, braces, and more.
“With :DentalPlans you know you are getting the best care
for the lowest possible price,” says Chase. “It makes us happy to help keep you
and your family smiling.”
