May: Mental Health Awareness Month 

May is Mental Health Awareness Month focusing on community support, well-being, and showing no one is alone. Taking the time to reach out to those who you might not talk to frequently or even giving a compliment to a stranger making their day. Mental Health is important to for everyone no matter what age.

May: Save Your Tooth Month

A sore tooth is more than just an annoying pain. Left untreated, toothaches can lead to all sorts of nasty problems, including sepsis. 

Sepsis is part of your body’s immune response to fighting infections. Unfortunately, it’s so aggressive and toxic that it can easily be life threating. Each year nearly 270,000 people die from sepsis. Don’t let your tooth slip away with that little sore.

May: Women’s Health Month 

National Women’s Health Week 2026 is from 5/10/2026 – 5/16/2026 to encourage women and girls to prioritize their health. The week focuses on building positive habits, preventative screening, and mental wellness. Make sure you check on the women in your life this month!

DHMO Plan

The DHMO works like a medical HMO plan, because you must receive your care from your primary DHMO provider. All employees under this plan must select a primary care dentist. Find a network provider at deltadentalins.com.

The premium cost of this plan is 100% covered by Aristocrat for all tier levels. This plan offers a full range of dental services and you pay a copay based on the type of service you receive. Please see the benefit schedule for a list of copays.

PPO Plan

The PPO dental plans offer you the freedom and flexibility to choose any licensed dentist. You receive the greatest savings when you visit a Preferred Dentist. If you visit a non-preferred provider, you will pay a percentage of the Reasonable and Customary (R&C) fee based on the dentist’s rates. Find a network provider at deltadentalins.com.

Virtual Dentistry

Virtual dentistry offers members convenient access to a Delta Dental dentist for answers to questions, quick checkups, second opinions or other oral health needs in between visits to the dentist’s office. Virtual assessments don’t count towards exam frequency limitations and are a covered benefit for Delta Dental PPO™ and Delta Dental Premier® members.

Virtual dentistry offers two kinds of virtual assessments:

  • Photo assessments within 24 hours for simple dental concerns, and
  • Live video visits when you want expert advice immediately or are experiencing pain.
