If you are looking for affordable dental insurance in New Jersey, look no further. Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield offers two dental insurance plans designed for individuals and families who don’t have the option to purchase dental insurance through their employer.
These aren’t premium plan options but. you will find your dental expenses to be much lower by utilizing these plans and the network compared to no insurance at all. Between the two options, the individual dental plan is a better choice but it is a little bit more money.

Did you know your dentist can spot serious health risks?
Routine dental visits can do more than keep your teeth clean. They also provide early detection of serious health risks like diabetes. Recent studies show that periodontal disease is one of the complications brought on by diabetes; a staggering one-third of people with diabetes have severe periodontal disease. And, if you have already been diagnosed with diabetes, periodontal disease can make it more difficult for you to control blood sugar levels.
Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey strongly believes in working with our members to help them take control of their health. We have the ability to integrate medical and dental care to provide comprehensive solutions to your health care needs through our dental awareness programs. If you are a Horizon BCBSNJ member and have diabetes, you will receive valuable educational material highlighting the link between diabetes and good oral health.
We recognize the connection between good oral care and good overall health. If you have not seen your dentist recently, make an appointment right away.
