October is National Dental Hygiene Month! 🪬 While those bi-annual dental cleanings are key, real oral health starts with your daily habits at home. Maintaining a healthy smile is all about consistency - brushing twice a day, flossing, and making choices that keep your teeth and gums happy. Think of those dental visits as your tune-up, but your daily routine is what keeps the engine running smoothly. Prioritize your oral hygiene at home, and the dentist’s chair will be a much more relaxing place to be! How do you keep up with your at-home dental routine? What products do you use? Share your tips and let's inspire better oral health together! #NationalDentalHygieneMonth #HealthySmile #oralcare #employeewellness

🦷📊 Recent data from American Dental Association reported the state of dental care across the U.S., revealing key trends in usage, insurance coverage, and cost barriers. 🔹 Dental Care Utilization: • 45% of the U.S. population visited a dentist in 2022, reflecting a rebound to pre-pandemic levels. • Only 40% adults aged 19-64 saw a dentist compared to Children (52%) and seniors (51%) • Disparities persist by race/ethnicity, with lower utilization among Black (33.5%) and Hispanic (32.6%) adults. 🔹 Insurance Coverage: • Only 8% of children were uninsured in 2022, the lowest rate ever recorded. • However, 24% of seniors still rely on Medicare Advantage for dental benefits, leaving gaps in coverage for many. 🔹 Cost Barriers • Dental care remains the most cost-prohibitive health service, with 13% of Americans facing financial obstacles, compared to 4-5% for other medical services • Low-income adults are particularly affected, with cost barriers significantly higher than for children and seniors. There is a tremendous opportunity to bridge the gap in dental care access using digital-first, AI-powered solutions. By offering better dental benefits and leveraging the latest technology, we can provide more affordable, accessible, and personalized dental care for all populations.

We are thrilled to be part of the Beanstalk Benefits partner network to bring next-generation dental benefits that elevate and empower employee oral care - regardless of whether they have existing dental insurance. Through Beanstalk, employees can personalize advanced benefit solutions that not only enhance their oral health but also support their overall well-being.
Did you know bacteria on your teeth and gums can be linked to heart disease? That dentists can identify eating disorders in teenagers? Or that you’re at a higher risk for cavities during menopause or cancer treatment? Oral health is more than just a bright smile—it’s a critical part of overall wellness that many people overlook. Unfortunately, the dental care experience isn’t always easy. In fact, 1 in 3 Americans skip their annual dental visits, and 1 in 4 adults live with undiagnosed and untreated oral disease. Even those who are diligent about visiting the dentist twice a year often feel their appointments are rushed, making it difficult to ask questions and fully understand the reasons behind treatment recommendations. After all, it’s hard to have a conversation when your mouth is open. KELLS is built to be an always-on dental companion, providing individuals and families with convenient, on-demand oral health support. With tools like AI-powered dental scans, real-time consultations with dentists, easy access to second opinions, cost estimates, and care discounts, Co-Founders Jie Feng, Ph.D and Kevin D. have created a platform that eliminates barriers to dental care. KELLS offers detailed, tooth-by-tooth insights so people can make informed decisions about their oral health—whether or not they have dental insurance. If you want a platform that provides comprehensive, whole-body resources for the entire family, the Beanstalk Benefits Suite was built for you.
