We all know the importance of preventative dental care, but sometimes we just cannot afford to pay for regular check ups and any necessary oral health maintenance we may require.
Before I go on I think it's worth recapping exactly what a good preventative dental care program should entail.
According to the American Dental Association we should all:
1 Brush our teeth twice a day with an ADA accepted fluoride toothpaste
2 [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php]louboutin pas cher[/url] Replace our toothbrush every 3 to 4 months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed
3 Clean between our teeth daily with floss or an inter-dental cleaner
4 Eat a balanced diet, and limit soft drinks and between-meal snacks
5 Visit our dentist regularly for professional cleanings and [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister[/url] oral exams
When it comes to the health of your teeth, prevention and early detection are the keys for keeping more serious dental treatments and therefore your expenses to a minimum.
Brushing and flossing helps to remove plaque and keeps your teeth looking and feeling cleaner.
A healthy low sugar diet helps to keep your teeth and gums in good shape, as well as the rest of your body, but the reality is nearly all of us are guilty of falling off this wagon!
Routine dental examinations and regular professional cleanings help to keep higher cost treatments such as fillings, root canals and extractions to a minimum, but we all know that such visits to the dentist can be expensive.
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to how often you should see your dentist, but according to various experts the time frame is anywhere from once every three months to once a year. I [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/barbour.php]barbour[/url] actually believe the frequency is different from person to person. In my opinion it should be determined by your current dental health and your risk factors for dental or oral disease.
How much would a regular oral check up examination cost me?
It's impossible to put an exact figure on it because dental fees vary from State to State, but if I use [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour sale[/url] the national average, I find the cost of an oral exam is [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour outlet[/url] $47.
It is also recommended that you get your teeth professionally cleaned at the same time; again, based on the national average, this will cost you an additional $85.
So a dental check up and getting your teeth cleaned will cost you about $132. Given that you should probably do this twice a year, your annual cost will be around $264, assuming no other treatments are required!
What most people don't know!
What you probably don't know is you can get the exact same services for around $43 per visit, or an annual cost of just $86. That's [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php]louboutin[/url] a huge saving of $178, or put another way 67%! (All figures based on national averages)
How?
What more than 10 million Americans have already discovered is a something called a Discount Dental Plan. Discount Dental Plans work through a network of dentists that agree to reduce the cost of their services to plan members. The plan sets a fee schedule for all dental procedures on a State by State basis. (Savings to plan members [url=http://www.maximoupgrade.com/hot.php]hollister france[/url] can be as big as 70%, or even a little more.)
Although there are many companies out there offering affordable plans for individuals and families, there are a few things it is very important to check before you enroll in a plan:
1 Does the plan have a sufficient number of participating dentists in your area? (Any plan that will not provide this information upfront should be avoided at all costs)
2 An individual plan should not cost more than $9 per month and household coverage should not cost more than $20 per month.
3 The cost of procedures. A reputable plan will happily provide you with a full fee schedule for your State before you enroll. If they don't it is likely you will find some nasty surprises down the road. (Do not base your decision on national averages costs because costs vary from State to State)
Discount Dental Plans can save you up to 70% on dental procedures. They do not have waiting periods and all types of oral healthcare are covered, including diagnostic, preventative, restorative, endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics, oral surgery, [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/peuterey.php]peuterey outlet[/url] orthodontics and adjunctive services.
The other benefit worth noting is there is no annual [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm[/url] limit; discount dental plan members can use their card as much as they need without restriction.
Also, if you have a dental emergency don't despair, when you become a member of a dental discount plan you get immediate coverage!
Is it any wonder that more [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]barbour uk[/url] than 10 million Americans are now using affordable money saving discount dental plans to look after family dental care?
As a managing agent of Careington Dental, David Sheath can help you save up to 70% on dental work at over [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/woolrich.php]woolrich bologna[/url] 65,000 dentists. Join more than 7 million members already enjoying huge savings on their dental care. Orthodontics & Dentures also covered. Plans start from just $6.95 a month.
