A person’s oral health is key to their overall health and vitality, according to a new report from Cigna Healthcare, which explores the connection between oral health and overall well-being. For employers, recognizing this link, and integrating medical, dental, and behavioral health benefits, can play a vital role in improving employee health outcomes, increasing productivity and reducing absenteeism.

In this episode of the Health Unscripted Podcast, Jason Youngblood, director of behavioral account management at Cigna Healthcare, speaks with Dr. Cary Sun, a dentist and the chief dental officer at Cigna Healthcare, to explore the latest dental trends and discuss how employers are uniquely positioned to improve employees’ oral and overall health.
