Dental Care Is Essential to Overall Health
At Family Friendly Dental in East Hanover, NJ, we're encouraged to see the American Dental Association (ADA) advocating for adult dental coverage to be recognized as an Essential Health Benefit. The ADA recently urged the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to treat both pediatric and adult dental care as a core part of comprehensive health coverage, highlighting the important connection between oral health and overall wellness.
Regular dental visits help prevent problems before they become more serious and support long-term oral and systemic health. That's why we believe every patient should have access to quality dental care.
