BlueCare Dental ConnectionSM – Something to smile about
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico is pleased to offer BlueCare Dental Connection, a dental health and wellness program that provides resources to encourage members to manage their oral health, which may help improve their overall health.
Research shows a potential link between periodontal disease and other health problems such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes control, and premature birth. BlueCare Dental Connection offers a proactive approach that protects more than just teeth.
Producers will find links to BlueCare Dental Connection on Blue Access for Producers under the Group Products section. An important component of BlueCare Dental Connection is the Dental Wellness CenterTM, which offers online resources and support tools that allow members to:
- Ask licensed dentists dental-related questions through Ask A Dentist
- Locate a network general dentist or specialist with Provider Finder®
