It’s no secret that the economy hasn’t fully recuperated from the dip it took in recent years. It has also become apparent that many individuals are nixing their dental check-ups in order to save some money. But did you know that if you let your dental health slip that you could potentially end up paying more for your treatments? Although you may be brushing, flossing, and rinsing at least twice a day, there is still a chance that you’re not adequately cleaning every corner of the mouth.
There are many individuals who have had to skip their regular visit for several years, only to make an appointment when a certain problem persists. Unfortunately for countless people, it is to treat a simple procedure, such as a filling. Then, much to the patient’s dismay, a more aggressive dental procedure may be necessary, such as a root canal or dental implant. These treatments tend to cost the patient double or triple the amount that they would have originally spent.
In other cases, a routine check-up could even lead to the diagnosis of other medical issues, such as heart disease or diabetes. In these circumstances, I would highly recommend that the patient schedule an appointment with his/her primary physician for a follow-up.
