Health

If you see a usually clean-shaven friend or co-worker who seems to be growing a mustache over the next 30 days, there might be a good reason for it.

First, going to the dentist might not have happened in 2020 and into 2021 due to the pandemic, but now dentists are saying that due to the higher levels of stress they are treating more and more patients with preventable issues.

Delta Dental of Arizona, through its Foundation, selected 30 non-profit organizations across the state as recipients of annual grants and dental supplies to improve the oral health of Arizonans.

Do you want to be healthier and have a new outlook on life? Do you want to feel stronger both mentally and physically? Making your health a priority may seem complicated, but it does not have to be.

Many know there is a direct connection between what we put into our mouths and our heart health.

Delta Dental of Arizona has partnered with Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health (NOAH) and HonorHealth Foundation to fund expert emergency dental treatment at NOAH for uninsured patients who visit HonorHealth emergency departments with dental issues.

The National Science Foundation awarded a $3 million grant to support University of Arizona graduate students looking to work across multiple scientific disciplines and channels to take on the world’s grand challenges, from global climate change to sustainable food production.

For more than 50 years, Southwest Behavioral & Health Services (SB&H) has provided compassionate primary care, substance abuse and mental health services that enhance lives and improve communities to throughout the Phoenix Metro area, as well as Maricopa, Gila, Mohave, Coconino, and Yavapai counties.

The Delta Dental of Arizona Foundation (DDAZF) supports projects and services that encourage and advance the integration of oral health and overall health; increase access to oral health services to underserved children, pregnant women and seniors; promote collaboration across a wide range of health providers; and increase use of proven approaches into greater and more widespread practice.

As giving season is upon us, we must all reach down deeper to support our neighbors, friends, and the non-profit agencies that serve our community day in and day out.
