The employer advantage: Prioritizing oral health for employee wellness

There is a clear connection between oral health and overall well-being. New research from Cigna Healthcare shows that people with mental health disorders, for example, often use dental services less frequently. Additionally, factors affecting mental and oral health share common attributes, suggesting that integrated medical, dental, and behavioral health treatment can lead to better overall health outcomes. In this episode of Health Unscripted, our host Jason Youngblood, director of behavioral account management at Cigna Healthcare, sits down with Dr. Cary Sun, a dentist and the chief dental officer at Cigna Healthcare, to talk about the evolving dental care landscape and the implications for employers.
