Welcome to Texas Member Resource Center

Message from the Dental Director

Welcome to our member education site.  We hope that you will find it interesting, informative and helpful.  I want to encourage you to spend some time getting to know your dental plan.  Understanding your dental plan and how it works is the best benefit you can give yourself.   You and your selected participating dentist are partners in the maintenance of your oral health.  Feel free to discuss your oral health concerns and any suggested treatment options with your   dental provider.  Always remember to ask for a written treatment plan so that you are aware of the treatment recommendations and any associated costs.  And remember, there is nothing like a great smile, so share it with those around you!
