\"womanAs we head into 2020, is a healthy smile at the top of your priority list? You can start the year off right with dental checkups and screenings. Although you may not think you need to go until after a problem develops, this couldn\u2019t be further from the truth. The American Dental Association recommends everyone visits their dentist at least twice a year for preventive care to keep their teeth and gums healthy. Not only will you enjoy a beautiful smile, but you\u2019ll also reduce your overall oral health expenses with a trip to your dentist.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

Benefits of Routine Cleanings & Checkups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental care is designed with prevention in mind. Stopping\noral health issues from occurring in the first place prevents the need for a\ncostly treatment down the road. This not only ensures your smile can last for a\nlifetime, but it also decreases your overall oral health expenses. In fact,\nresearch shows every $1 spent on prevention can save you as much as 50% on\nrestorative or emergency care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although you might think your toothbrush and floss are\nenough to ward off common oral health issues, they are not. You also need a\nprofessional cleaning at least twice a year to remove any accumulations left\nbehind at home. You\u2019ll also enjoy a comprehensive checkup to detect potential\ndental issues early, like tooth decay and gum disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early Detection with Oral Cancer Screenings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Besides a cleaning and\ncheckup<\/a>, routine preventive care provides another benefit as well. It\nallows your dentist to perform an oral cancer screening. At least 1 person\nevery 24 hours dies from oral cancer. The high mortality rate is often\nattributed to late detection. It\u2019s believed dentists can detect as much as 80%\nof new oral cancer cases through routine screenings. You can benefit from the\npower of early detection with a screening during your next appointment for a\ncleaning and checkup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy Affordable Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re like one-third of adults, you probably didn\u2019t visit\nyour dentist last year. If you were worried about a large bill, you have\nnothing to fear. At the beginning of the year, your insurance benefits reset, which\nmeans you have access to comprehensive coverage to reduce the amount you need\nto pay for the services your smile needs, including preventive care. You can\nget the cleanings, checkups, and screenings you need for only a small co-payment.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invest in a Healthy Smile!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can get the healthy, beautiful smile you deserve in 2020\nwith a trip to your dentist. Invest in your dental health with the checkups and\nscreenings you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
