Cigna has launched a new audio podcast on its website to help individuals understand how stress and anxiety impact their oral health.
Individual may not be aware that they are clenching their teeth or grinding them at night, and that could be a direct result of how they manage -- or don't manage -- stresses during the day, according to the company. Pain near their ear that might feel like an earache could actually be temporomandibular joint pain caused by clenching or grinding.
In addition to dental podcasts, Cigna's dental health management organization (DHMO) customers can find real-time information about their dental benefits, online tools such as caries and periodontal disease risk assessments, and dental health articles and videos from WebMD at myCigna.com.
