As Champions of your Smile, Delta Dental of Arkansas is the coolest kid on the social media block.
Okay, maybe not quite.
But you should follow us anyway.
Following Delta Dental of Arkansas on social media can boost your smile, cash flow and community life.
Here are 5 reasons why:
1. Learn to Use Your Dental Benefits Correctly
Insurance can be complicated.
To maximize your dental benefits (aka, get the most bang for your buck), you need to understand and apply key concepts like network providers, deductibles, annual maximum, and more. Otherwise, you could pay higher out-of-pocket expenses than necessary and lose out on dental treatments.
We explain those key concepts in your Member Profile and our blogs, but do you always know what to look for?
On social media, we post benefit bulletins and useful tips. They’ll serve as great reminders or starting points for you to find out more.
2. Improve Your Smile (and Vision) with Timely Tips and News
How much do you know about the best care for your teeth, gums and eyes?
Let’s do a quick test:
- What’s better: a manual or an electric toothbrush?
- Floss picks or floss?
- Why does the risk of cavities for kids increase during summer break?
- Should you worry about blue light?
All of these are questions we’ve asked and answered on social media. Our photos, infographics and videos provide helpful information that can help you lead healthier, safer and more fulfilling lives.
