Maybe you stopped brushing and flossing during the pandemic and now your teeth are turning brown. Or you got into a mask fight at the grocery store and some jerk knocked out a few of your teeth. That’s why you should always have dental insurance, people. Sun Life Financial shareholders couldn’t agree more: Shares of the company surged after it announced the US$2.48-billion purchase of DentaQuest, which manages dental and vision insurance benefits for more than 30 million Americans across 36 states and also operates 75 oral health centres. With analysts hiking their price targets on Sun Life’s shares after the deal, investors are all smiles.
