March 2024 News
A new study conducted by the University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics, sponsored by the Delta Dental Institute, highlights a significant advancement in the care for individuals living with dementia through the use of a newly developed mobile application (app), Dental.Aging.Tips.
The Dental.Aging.Tips app was widely accepted amongst caregivers of those living with dementia, and improved caregivers’ attitudes, knowledge, and abilities to provide oral hygiene care.
As leaders in oral health research and advocacy, Delta Dental is proud to be at the forefront of developing solutions that significantly improve the quality of oral health for our members.
This study supports the collective missions of Delta Dental member companies nationwide to improve health and well-being of those we serve and most importantly, provides caregivers with essential guidance and resources to support their efforts in oral hygiene care for individuals living with dementia.
At Delta Dental of Illinois, we value our groups and are thrilled to retain 95%+ annually. We are even more delighted to celebrate those that have been a client for more than 20 years.
