LifeSmile Wellness Communications Program
Did you know that Delta Dental has a national wellness communications program called LifeSmile? We want our members to know how much their oral health affects their overall health, and this wellness program helps us accomplish this through a series of flyers, rack cards, posters, emails, and direct mail pieces. These pieces can be used by your clients on their wellness sites, emailed to employees, or printed out and posted in break rooms. The program is intended to help educate members about the importance of their oral health, how it relates to their overall health, and how they can best use their dental benefits to take care of it.
We include a different LifeSmile collateral piece in every employer newsletter (sent out quarterly), so your clients may have seen or used some of them already. Feel free to download the accompanying pieces and send them to your clients. We also have them available in Spanish.
Below is just a small sample of the materials available. We will soon be adding a new page to our
