Coordination of Benefits: How Does It Work?
	If you are covered under another dental plan, Delta Dental will coordinate your Covered Benefits as described in your Summary Plan Description. It is important to note that having two dental programs (dual coverage) does not "double" your coverage. However, it may mean that you will pay lower out-of-pocket costs. Coordination of Benefits eliminates duplicate payments for the same dental or orthodontic services.

The Relationship Between Oral Health and Diabetes is a     Two-Way Street
	According to the American Diabetes Association, 23.6 million American adults and children have diabetes. Of those, 5.7 million do not know that they have it. Of even greater concern is that nearly three times that number - an estimated 57 million people - have a condition called pre-diabetes, and a significant proportion of these people will develop Type 2 diabetes within 10 years. Delta Dental of Oklahoma, the state’s largest dental benefits provider, reminds you that regular visits to the dentist’s office can help potential diabetics get an early warning that they should be on the alert.
Sweet and Light: What You Need to Know About Sugar
	“How sweet it is” depends entirely on you. Whether you reach for the sugar bowl, the honey pot, or a packet of artificial sweetener, it's all a matter of taste and calories. Sugar fuels the body and every cell in it. A variety of foods naturally contain sugar. The most common sugars are in fruit (fructose) and milk (lactose). No matter how sugar starts out, your body turns it into glucose.
