PREVENTIVE CARE care can save you thousands! It sounds incredible, but it’s true! Brushing your teeth for two full minutes and taking another minute flossing, twice a day, can help you prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Anything you do to protect your teeth and gums is time well spent. You can stop minor problems from turning into serious and costly ones. Prevention repays you! Visiting your hygienist twice a year for a deep cleaning can treat gum disease in its early stages, saving you the time and money of long-term complications.
According to studies, every dollar spent on preventive dental care could save you from $8 to $50 in restorative and emergency treatments … and potentially more in additional types of medical treatment. Not to mention the time spent during multiple visits to the doctor.
Another study showed that periodontal care lowered the cost of medical care for patients who had diabetes, coronary artery disease, and stroke.
