Debbie Preston, an executive for Broome County, has this Thursday introduced a new card system for dental health care, says a recent report. His aim was to aid those residents in the region, who lack dental health care insurance.

As per the report, the Dental Network Card Program would prove affordable for all people as it includes payment of some36 dollars a year for an individual. It is being said by Debbie that people can save up to 37% from that usually spent on an exam and cleaning.

It has also been told by him that a complete family’s card can also be held, which costs just 52 dollars in a year. He affirmed that 30% savings would be allowed on x-rays to all of the cardholders. And county residents must go for it as the county is one of the only five regions being offered the plan.

The report says that 66 local dentists plus two orthodontists are also participating in the program. The team is hoping to provide benefits to almost 20,000 people living without insurance.

“In the long run I feel that this would help health care in our county and this is going to ward off a lot of future serious ailments”, said Preston.
