Welcome

SafeGuard Health Plans, Inc. a MetLife company, is pleased to provide dental and vision health care services plans through the Healthy Families Program.

Regular preventive healthcare is so important for our children.
Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic infectious diseases among U.S. children. It is 5 times as common as asthma and 7 times as common as hay fever.*

It is estimated that 25 percent of preschool children have some type of vision problem.**

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association encourage parents to make a child’s first dental appointment at six months of age or shortly after the first tooth breaks through the gum. And the American Optometric Association advises that children receive a comprehensive eye exam before entering school.

Regular visits to a dentist should continue in order to help ensure ongoing oral health and vision exams will help identify a child who may be at risk for vision problems.
