Dental and Vision Enrollment

The Pulse
September 2026

See Clearly. Smile Confidently. Age Well.

Mark your calendar. Annual Enrollment for TRS-Care Dental and TRS-Care Vision runs Oct. 1 through Dec. 7. This is your opportunity to enroll, make changes to your coverage or add eligible dependents for 2027.

Good oral and vision health support more than your smile and eyesight. Routine dental visits and eye exams can help identify signs of health conditions early and play an important role in your overall well-being. Taking care of both is one way to help yourself stay healthy and active as you age.

Already Enrolled? No Action Needed

If you're currently enrolled in TRS-Care Dental or TRS-Care Vision, your coverage will automatically continue into 2027. You do not need to take any action to keep your current coverage. Annual Enrollment is for members who want to enroll for the first time, add a dependent, or change existing coverage.

Why Consider TRS-Care Dental?

TRS-Care Dental, insured by MetLife, includes:

  • A growing annual maximum benefit. Complete two exams and two cleanings during the plan year, and your annual maximum benefit increases by $250 the following year. Over time, it can increase by as much as $500.
  • Help with unexpected dental costs. Dental procedures can be expensive. Coverage can help protect both your oral health and your budget.
  • Support while traveling. The International Dental Travel Assistance Program offers 24/7 support in multiple languages and access to dental providers in approximately 200 countries.
