Some people skip visits to the dentist to save money. However, missing regular appointments can actually put a much greater dent in your finances down the road. When you head to the office for a thorough teeth cleaning and checkup, your doctor assesses and addresses any issues, such as cavities, gum disease, even oral cancer before they worsen. By simply investing in preventive dental care today, you can protect your oral health—and also your wallet—for years to come.

Price Check on Postponing

The office of Dr. Emery & Scuro DMD, PC, understands that dental treatment and dental insurance can be costly.  That’s why our office offers a dental savings plan for people without insurance.  This plan includes preventive hygiene care and discounts on other services.  However, if you miss routine visits, small problems become bigger problems, leading to higher costs for treatment.  It’s cheaper to stay healthy, than to get healthy once you have lost it.

These restorative procedures can be costly. Thankfully, these problems maybe avoidable with regular maintenance. In addition to brushing and flossing daily, it’s smart to visit the dentist at least twice a year for a thorough cleaning and examination.  

Preventive Dental Care to Spot Hidden Issues

Understandably, many people are tempted to skip their annual appointment if their teeth seem to be in good health. However, most have no idea when an oral issue initially emerges, as symptoms may be hard to spot in its earliest stages. For example, an individual may not recognize any signs of gum disease until they experience inflammation and pain—meaning the condition has already advanced considerably. If the disease continues to progress, it will become irreversible and may cause tooth and jawbone loss. Meanwhile, if the issue is diagnosed during its earliest stages, a dentist can fully treat it.
