As part of Delta Dental of Idaho’s community outreach efforts to improve the dental health of all Idahoans, the GrinWell for You program provides income-qualifying seniors with an opportunity to receive dental benefits at no cost to them. Qualifying seniors receive $1,850 in free dental care the first year and then purchase a subsidized preventive plan to maintain their oral health. Delta Dental of Idaho pays over half of the premium.
The Land of Smiles program is a fun, age-appropriate show that teaches children in kindergarten through third grade about good oral health care. In 2021, Delta Dental of Idaho will be providing the Land of Smiles experience virtually for students due to COVID-19. We will be following federal, state and county guidelines to determine when it is safe to begin the show with in-person school visits.
