Oral Health Awareness

Mar 10, 2025Stay Well

Everyone should have a healthy smile, but not everyone gets the same dental care. Some people can’t afford to see a dentist or don’t have enough information about oral health.

✔ Dental Care for All – Some people don’t get regular check-ups, which can lead to cavities and gum disease. Free clinics and health programs can help.
✔ Diabetes & Oral Health – People with diabetes have a higher chance of gum disease, infections, and dry mouth. Brushing, flossing, and keeping blood sugar under control can help.
✔ Natural Ways to Keep Teeth Healthy – Many cultures use home remedies:

  • Oil Pulling – Swishing coconut or sesame oil to remove germs.
  • Herbal Rinses – Green tea or clove water to fight bacteria.
  • Chewing Sticks – Miswak or neem twigs to clean teeth.
  • Saltwater Rinse – To soothe sore gums.

Taking care of your teeth helps your whole body stay healthy!

Chinese Community Health Plan (CCHP) is a Medicare Advantage HMO plan with a Medicare contract and a California Medicaid program contract for our SNP. Enrollment in CCHP depends on contract renewal. Every year, Medicare evaluates plans based on a 5-star rating system. CCHP’s pharmacy network offers limited access to pharmacies with preferred cost sharing in San Francisco and San Mateo County. The lower costs advertised in our plan materials for these pharmacies may not be available at the pharmacy you use. For up-to-date information about our network pharmacies, including pharmacies with preferred cost sharing, please call 1-888-775-7888 (TTY 1-877-681-8898) or consult the online pharmacy directory at www.cchphealthplan.com/medicare. CCHP complies with applicable Federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex.
