A new survey sponsored by the Dental Trade Alliance Foundation found that about two-thirds of adults in the U.S. think that dental coverage is an important part of an overall healthcare reform package, with 40% of those respondents saying it's very important. The survey showed that most adults (92 percent) understand how poor dental care leads to poor overall health. 81% of that group also agrees that benefits or some type of dentistry discounts are as important as general medical benefits in an overall healthcare benefit package. In lieu of coverage, many commented on the need to seek some type of dentistry discount in the form of discount cards.
