Be a Wise Healthcare Consumer

February Is National Children’s Dental Health Month.

One way to protect children’s teeth is with the application of dental sealants which are covered for children on both the UT SELECT Dental PPO and the Assurant Dental HMO Plan. Under UT SELECT Dental (administered by Delta Dental), sealants are covered at 100% for children through the age of 15. On the Assurant Dental HMO Plan, there is a copayment of $10 per tooth for sealants. Read more about sealants, and access additional dental health information including videos and a special section just for kids.
