Take advantage of extra dental benefits

Now that you are using your dental benefits, remember to access Delta Dental of Oregon’s Health through Oral Wellness^® program to get more out of your dental benefits.

If you have a greater risk for oral diseases, you may qualify for extra dental benefits and related care, including additional cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants and periodontal maintenance.

Talk to your dentist about the Health through Oral Wellness program and see if they are registered. Once signed up, your dentist can perform a clinical oral health risk assessment to determine your risk of tooth decay, gum disease and/or oral cancer. Based on your risk score, you may be eligible for enhanced benefits to help improve your oral health.

If you qualify, make sure to use these extra dental benefits to:

• Take charge of your oral health
• Prevent oral health issues before they happen
• Access resources to manage your oral health

See if you qualify

Just follow these simple steps to get started:

• Ask if your dentist has signed up. Talk to your dentist about the program. If they are not registered, ask them to call our provider line at 844-663-4433 to learn how to sign up. Once registered, they can perform your oral health risk assessment and let you know if you qualify.
• Take a free self-assessment. Before seeing your dentist, you can take a free oral health risk self-assessment. You can choose to share your results with your dentist to start the conversation.
• Look for registered providers. To look for providers registered with the program, go to modahealth.com and choose Find Care. Dental providers registered with Health through Oral Wellness will have a badge icon next to their name.

To retain these enhanced benefits, a registered dental provider will need to perform your oral health assessment at least once every plan year. Based on your risk score, and being enrolled in a plan with Health through Oral Wellness, you may qualify to continue receiving extra benefits. If your oral health improves, you may no longer qualify for enhanced benefits.
