All full-time and part-time faculty and staff are eligible to participate in the Dental Plan administered by BCBSTX.  You have the opportunity to enroll yourself, your spouse or your qualified domestic partner, and eligible children.  It is extremely important that you understand the eligibility criteria and enroll only those dependents that meet the following criteria.

  • Unmarried, eligible children through age 18 (or through age 24 if a full-time student).  "Children" are defined as your natural children, stepchildren, legally adopted children, and children under your legal guardianship.

It's True - Your Mouth Matters!

Trusted groups, like the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, have conducted clinical studies to understand the connection between infections in the mouth and their impact on other parts of the body.  They have shown that taking care of your teeth and gums may be important to your overall health.  Many diseases and conditions are visible through the mouth.  In fact, sometimes the first sign of a general health problem shows up in the mouth.  A dental professional can spot many of those signs.  For more information please review Good Dental Health.

 

IMPORTANT: For detailed information about how various dental services are covered, please review the Dental Benefits Summary.  Effective January 1, 2011, dental implants will be covered under the Dental Plan.
