Having a Kaiser Permanente dental plan is very important, since your teeth and gums are just as important to your health as your heart and other organs are. In fact, having unhealthy teeth and gums can lead to heart disease if left untreated. This is why Kaiser Permanente dental plans offer additional coverage in California through the Dental Assistance Insurance Plan. This plan is available for Kaiser Permanente California members through an agreement with Delta Dental of California (Delta Dental).

The optional Kaiser Permanente Dental Assistance Insurance Plan is made possible through one of the nation's largest and most experienced dental benefits providers. This plan provides Kaiser Permanente California members with a low annual deductible, low rate and low copayments, as well as the ability to choose from Delta's nationwide pool of more than 100,000 dentists or any other licensed dentist. There are dental plans and additional coverage for Kaiser Permanente Colorado and Kaiser Permanente Georgia as well, which individuals and families should contact an insurance representative in their state for more information about.

It is important to have dental coverage, whether it is from Kaiser Permanente dental or not. The benefit with Kaiser Permanente dental coverage, however, is the fact that you receive your care through the nation's most experienced insurance provider and oldest healthcare organization. And Kaiser Permanente California members can qualify for this additional coverage to ensure that they and their families get the coverage they need at a cost that is feasible for them to pay in these tough times.

With a Kaiser Permanente dental plan, individuals and families can brighten their smiles and take care of their teeth and gums to ensure a healthy future for their mouth and the rest of their body. Good health requires care and maintenance for the whole body after all, and that includes dental care.
