Visual: On screen text, Pay attention to your mouth.

Announcer: A nice smile is one of the first things people notice about you. But having nice-looking teeth doesn't necessarily mean you have good oral health.

Visual: Animation of a middle-aged man. He waves and smiles.

Visual: Animation of a tooth, with most of it below the gum line. The tooth spins to reveal its dentin, pulp, nerves and blood vessels.

Announcer: About 2/3 of each tooth is underneath your gums. That's why it's important to keep your whole mouth healthy, not just the teeth you can see.

Visual: Animation of a sign connected to cables drops down into view. On the sign, text. Your Mouth and Your Health.

Visual: The Middle-aged man brushes his teeth at a sink. Beside him, a small cup and a tube of toothpaste.

Announcer: Did you know that tooth decay is one of the most common diseases in the world? But good oral health is about more than just protecting your teeth. Your mouth and overall health are connected. A sore jaw, along with chest pain can be a sign of a heart attack.

Visual: Animation of a heart inside a circle. A cardiogram line runs through the heart. Another circle spins in to reveal a graphic of a pregnant person. Finally, a third circle spins in revealing two green splodges with yellow centers.

Visual: Animation of a sign connected to cables drops down into view. On the sign, text. Dental Care at Home.

Visual: Animation of the middle-aged man cleaning his teeth. Standing with him, also cleaning her teeth, his daughter.

Announcer: Regular brushing, flossing, and check-ups with your dentist are all effective ways to maintain good oral health. You should brush for at least 2 minutes twice a day and as often as after every meal.

Visual: Animation of the Daughter brushing her teeth by the sink. Beside her, an image of an hourglass with text, 2 minutes appears. Then, her cell phone buzzers and she picks it up.

Announcer: Brushing removes plaque, a layer of bacteria that clings to your teeth. Try setting a timer for 2 minutes or using the Blue Cross Blue Shield FEP Dental app's timer tool to help you make sure you brush long enough.

Visual: Animation of a calendar spinning. It's pages flip open and a toothbrush appears beside the calendar.

Announcer: And remember, replace your toothbrush every three to four months so it can effectively clean your teeth. Floss once a day. Flossing removes plaque and food between your teeth, where your toothbrush can't reach.

Visual: Animation of the Dad flossing.

Announcer: Improper or insufficient brushing and flossing can lead to plaque become tartar. Once formed, tartar can only be removed by a dentist or dental hygienist.

Visual: Animation of the Daughter as she joins Dad at the sink. She sips from a small cup. Dad sips from a large cup.

Announcer: During a dental exam, a dentist will clean your teeth and check for any signs of cavities, gum disease, or other conditions in your mouth and neck area. The exam may also include X-rays to allow the dentist to thoroughly evaluate and diagnose oral diseases and conditions that cannot otherwise be seen.

Visual: Animation of the Dad and Daughter smiling. She wears dental braces. Below them, two calendars flip up their pages.

Announcer: Everyone's oral-health needs are different. The American Dental Association recommends you talk to your dentist and determine how often you should get dental exams.

Visual: Animation of a sign connected to cables drops down into view. On the sign, text. Why Get Dental Insurance?

Visual: Animation of an medical insurance paper with two stethoscopes in the top left. A red X appears next to it.

Announcer: Medical insurance doesn't cover many important dental costs. Even if you don't currently require any dental services, like crowns and root canals, you're still at risk. Dental insurance covers these common services and procedures, plus a lot more, meaning you not only pay less or nothing at all for those services, but you might also avoid the costs of treating dental complications down the line.

Visual: Animation of a dental insurance document with a tooth in the top left corner. A green check appears next to it. To the right, on screen text appears. Teeth Cleanings. Root canals. Filings. Crowns.

Visual: Animation of a sign connected to cables drops down into view. On the sign, text. Savings that Make You Smile.

Visual: Animation of two circles spinning in. In one, a tooth with a red end. In the other, half a tooth with the crown about to be fitted on top.

Animation now changes to 2 rows, with the two circles in the first row. In the second row, there are three boxes.
