Dental

Dental care is an important part of an overall preventive care strategy beyond just oral health. In fact, lack of good dental hygiene has been linked to heart attack and stroke.

We understand that healthcare needs and budgets vary. That’s why Asurion Benefits Central offers a range of dental coverage options similar to what we offer for medical and vision.
