Catch Things Before They Become A Problem
Many Expensive Remedies Could be Prevented
Proactive dental care goes beyond the conventional, emphasizing preventive dentistry to safeguard a radiant smile and avert potential dental issues. Incorporating preventive measures, such as mastering proper brushing techniques and adhering to regular dental check-ups, serves as a proactive shield against common problems like cavities, gum disease, enamel damage, and more. Embracing preventive dentistry empowers you to proactively manage your oral health, delivering benefits to both your smile and your financial wellness.
Taking the reins of your oral health through preventative dentistry is not only a boon for your smile but also a wise investment for your financial stability. Research indicates that every dollar spent on preventive dental care can yield savings of up to $50 in restorative and emergency treatments.
Insights from the UIC College of Dentistry underscore the critical importance of accessible preventative oral healthcare for two compelling reasons:
- Many oral disease conditions are preventable through early intervention; dental sealants in children, for instance, can thwart 80% of cavities.
- Engaging in preventative dental care practices, encompassing timely and routine dental check-ups along with effective at-home habits, emerges as a prudent strategy for families to secure long-term savings.

Prevention & Care
Most dental checkups will include a routine cleaning and exam. When this is done year after year, it becomes a preventative measure. You’re going to the dentist because you don’t want to spend more time in the chair later on, having procedures done that are much more time-consuming, painful, and expensive.
Regular dental checkups include cleanings and exams. Twice a year is ideal for most people. Those with gum disease or high decay rates benefit from hygiene appointments every 3-4 months. Consistent preventive care reduces the time, pain, and costs of extensive procedures. Prioritize checkups to try to avoid costly treatments.
