Thank you to everyone for participating in this week’s activities, including a special CPR training hosted by the American Heart Association.

Dry mouth and tooth pain are among the many unexpected oral health symptoms that can occur during menopause. Although painful and inconvenient, there are simple ways to manage and treat the wide range of “menopause mouth” symptoms – starting with a visit to your dentist for an oral health check-in. Read the latest from Well+Good for insightful expertise from Robin Noble MD, MHCDS, gynecologist with The Menopause Society, and Delta Dental’s Dr. Daniel Croley on oral health issues to look out for during menopause and how to manage them. #OralHealth #Menopause #LifeatDDins
Individual oral health needs evolve throughout a lifetime, especially during pivotal milestones such as menopause. I shared further insights with Well+Good for their article on the oral health implications associated with this life stage. Hormonal fluctuations and a drop in estrogen levels can trigger numerous and often unexpected oral health side effects - most commonly dry mouth - as saliva production declines. This decrease in saliva heightens the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and even tooth loss. These oral health issues can, in turn, elevate the risk of developing or worsening systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease. However, preventative care and healthy lifestyle choices can help alleviate these uncomfortable symptoms and more. Thank you, Erika Ebsworth-Goold, for covering this important topic and for featuring our “Oral Health and Menopause Survey” in your article: https://lnkd.in/eGPUzSub #OralHealth #Healthcare #LifeatDDins

During #FOIUSA last month, Sarah Chavarria, CEO & President, Delta Dental Ins. opened the event with a keynote address that explored how businesses might consider the impact of global forces and how to stay ahead of evolving stakeholder expectations. For Delta Dental, it’s by bringing the company’s purpose, to improve health by providing access to quality care, to the center of its business strategy. Sarah concluded her keynote with this video that reflects that purpose – because in the end, we all want to have more moments that matter with the people we love.

I had so much fun meeting with Women in the Room Productions to discuss the critical and often overlooked connection between oral health symptoms and menopause. I’m honored to be a part of this groundbreaking documentary about the current health crisis faced by millions of women experiencing menopause. These important conversations are key to eliminating long-held stigma and breaking down barriers to resources and quality care. Tune into PBS on World Menopause Day (October 18) to watch “The ‘M’ Factor: Shredding the Silence.” #OralHealth #Menopause #LifeAtDDIns

As Women’s Health Month closes out, I celebrate all the women in my life who continue to inspire me to prioritize my health and well-being. Nobody has been more motivating for me than my daughters, who come from a generation that encourages each other to be open about their health. They have profoundly influenced my own health journey and taught me valuable lessons in advocating for myself. Honest conversations are crucial to eliminating the stigma surrounding women’s wellness topics. Who inspires you to put your health first? #WomensHealthMonth #Healthcare #LifeatDDIns

This week, I had the pleasure of being the keynote speaker at the Reuters Future of Insurance USA 2024 event in Chicago. I shared how we might consider the impact that global forces have on our business and how we can stay ahead of evolving stakeholder expectations. For us at Delta Dental Ins., it’s by leaning into our purpose and bringing it to the center of our business strategy. I closed the session with, “We all want to be a part of something bigger than ourselves, working for a common vision and purpose. And improving the health of all Americans is a pretty compelling case to me. As a grandma, my hope is that someday my grandbaby experiences a healthier world because of the work we are doing today.” It was an honor to represent Delta Dental and tell our story. #FOIUSA #healthcare #oralhealth #lifeatddins

We are honored to partner with the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) to support their mission of empowering Veterans to lead high-quality lives. One of the most powerful aspects of being part of their National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic is hearing and sharing the stories and voices of Veterans. As the daughter of a retired Command Sergeant Major in the U.S. Army, this work is especially meaningful to me. I want to extend many thanks to our Government Programs team who support our work with the Veteran community and Veteran dental care programs. https://lnkd.in/gwt8bjy8 #lifeatddins #deltadentalcares

As I prepared to step into my role as CEO, I knew partnering with providers was one of my top priorities. As we think about how we can support patients in managing all aspects of their oral health, we know providers are critical partners in that journey. Last week, I had the opportunity to attend our very first in-person Provider Advisory Council meeting in Austin, TX. This forum brings together a representative population of providers from our network, where we listen and collect feedback. It’s also an avenue for us to collaborate in new ways and shape our approach to expanding access to care, together. It was wonderful connecting with this group, and I’m excited for what’s to come as we make meaningful progress toward our shared goal of improving health. #healthcare #oralhealth #lifeatddins
