PDS Health and the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA) have joined forces to introduce the Smile Generation Dental Plan, catering specifically to licensed dental hygienists and their families. This initiative is a strategic partnership aimed at providing affordable dental care options to ADHA members who often lack traditional dental insurance coverage. The plan offers substantial savings of up to 60% on various services, including preventive, restorative, and specialty care, at over 1,000 PDS Health practices nationwide. With transparent pricing, no deductibles, and a low annual membership fee, the plan ensures access to essential dental treatments without the typical insurance constraints.
The collaboration between PDS Health and ADHA addresses a critical gap in benefits access for dental hygienists, a profession crucial to enhancing oral and overall health outcomes. Research from the ADA Health Policy Institute underscores the significant number of dental hygienists without dental insurance, indicating a pressing need for affordable care options. By offering reduced pricing on a range of treatments, including preventive services, restorative procedures, and specialty care, this partnership aims to support workforce retention and improve member well-being. The initiative not only fills an essential need within the dental community but also aligns with ADHA's commitment to overcoming long-term workforce challenges.
The Smile Generation Dental Plan for ADHA will be available at over 1,000 PDS Health practices starting October 2025, offering practical access to care for dental hygienists and their families. This innovative solution not only emphasizes the connection between oral health and overall well-being but also demonstrates a proactive approach to addressing the needs of dental professionals. By focusing on practical solutions and meaningful access to care, PDS Health and ADHA set a precedent for collaborative efforts that benefit both dental providers and patients alike.
