Since the early 2000’s, adults have
been visiting the dentist less.[1] And the Great Recession has only aggravated
the trend. We see it in our practice and know it is
happening in our competitors’ practices as well. The assumption is that the patient is saving
money by extending the time between regular visits or by not going at all. Not only is this assumption is wrong, but it
costs patients their health as well as more money.
Patients who see their dentist on
a regular basis save money in adjunctive health treatment. New research by United Concordia shows that
patients who visit their dentist on a regular basis not only improve their
overall global health but by extension save in reduced medical costs as well.[2]
Dentists not only improve your
smile and maintain your oral health, they improve your overall lives. So if you’re thinking about putting off that
dental appointment because it can wait,
think again.
If we can be of assistance or can
answer any of your questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.
