3 Reminders About Cost Effective Care
When you’ve got kids, it often seems like your wallet has sprung a leak. Every time you turn around, you seem to be spending more and more money on essentials. As a result, you may start wondering if all of the “necessary” things you’re investing in are actually required or are just a luxury. When it comes to your child’s dental care, we encourage you to remember that investing in it is actually your most cost effective way of managing your little one’s oral health. Let’s get a bit more specific!
#1: When You Worry Sealants Aren’t Worth It
You might worry that dental sealants aren’t worth the investment. However, they actually prove very cost effective over time! This preventive dental care can help prevent countless cavities (which will require a much greater investment to treat). Sealants also last around 10 whole years!
#2: When You Figure Prevention Is Too Costly
Annual preventive dental care includes two visits composed of a checkup and cleaning. The price tag is far more cost effective than skipping professional prevention and then having to cover the costs of treatments like fillings and crowns. (Remember, home care is not sufficient. Your child needs professional prevention, too!).
#3: When You Think It’s Smartest To Ignore Restorative Needs
You might think that your children’s teeth are quite resilient since they are so young. Or, you may think that baby teeth don’t really need attention because they’re going to fall out. However, these are not accurate perspectives! Damaged baby teeth can lead to damaged permanent teeth. In addition, your child’s teeth are very vulnerable to decay and other concerns, even though they may appear pristine! It’s more cost effective to bring your child in for a filling than to wait for a problem that requires a root canal or extraction (and a replacement solution)!
