The Benefits of Brushing and Flossing
Bottom Line
By taking preventative care of your teeth and gums, you can avoid costly (and painful!!) dental procedures.
When is the last time you've had a dentist's appointment? Has it been more than 6 months? If so, then it's recommended that you schedule one for a checkup and cleaning, according to the American Dental Association.
Beyond the semi annual visits are the brushings and flossings that you were supposed to do. So how does following your dentist's advice save you money? By reducing the frequency of getting fillings, root canals, denture work, gum reconstructions, and many other procedures that are sometimes as painful to your mouth as they are to your wallet.
The percentage of people visiting the dentist hovers around in the 60-70% range of the entire population even though many of these people are uninsured. Regardless of your insurance status, you'll want to make sure that you have healthy teeth so that any major dental work in the future can be avoided.
In a future post, we'll go over the cost savings in detail by considering the current costs of the procedures. Until then, keep brushing and flossing.
