Pregnancy and dental care

Life is full of comforting connections.  Like the one between Mom and Baby. 

This kind of connection is what inspired Aetna to help pioneer research into the link between the dental and physical health of a Mom-to-be. 
 

And that’s why we launched our Aetna Dental Medical Integration Program which uses our medical and dental claims data to help our members to stay healthy.
 

Like for Emily who just found out she’s having a girl.  Since Emily has both Aetna medical and dental coverage we automatically connect her pregnancy diagnosis with her dental claims. 
 

As it turns out, Emily hasn’t been to the dentist in a while.  And because our research shows that regular dental cleanings can have a big impact on the health of Mom and Baby we automatically reach out encouraging her to make an appointment with a dentist.  Not every carrier has this kind of integration and that’s because Aetna has been at the forefront of  this approach to care. 
 

Emily sees her dentist who even has her book and extra cleaning before her next scheduled visits. 
 

With our Aetna Dental Medical Integration Program certain conditions and diseases receive additional dental services at no extra cost to the member.
 

Emily can take comfort in knowing she’s taken care of from teeth to toes.  And she can focus on other things like finishing up the nursery.
