Why is preventative care necessary?
Being proactive about your oral health and wellness is the most reliable method of reducing overall dental costs over time. Certain restorative procedures that need to be done when problems arise can be expensive over the course of one’s lifetime. For example, when patients brush, floss, and visit their dentist as directed, they are reducing the risk of experiencing tooth decay, periodontal disease, and tooth loss which can add up in costs over the years. Also, some conditions are not reversible, meaning they cause damage that cannot be fully repaired back to one’s original, healthy smile.
How expensive can improper oral health habits be?
There are many restorative treatments that can be used to help restore the original function and appearance of the smile. However, they can be expensive. Dentures, dental implants, dental bridges, and other restorations can be costly. When patients visit our New York, NY, dental office for routine cleanings and examinations, they are often covered by dental insurance plans available through our patients’ employers. There is no reason NOT to make use of these benefits while they are available, as they can be free or low-cost for patients to schedule.
