3 Preventative Steps That Save Big on Future Braces and Tooth Replacement

While intensive procedures like orthodontics or implants restore smiles marvelously, practicing conscientious prevention through lifelong good oral habits represents the most cost-effective approach according to the experts at Discovery Dental & Implants. 

Small investments in personal care upfront yield enormous dividends curbing future restoration expenses and maintaining dental health naturally well into advanced ages. Here are three keys to savings worth implementing according to your partners in oral wellness at Discovery Dental & Implants.

Brush Twice Daily

Establishing diligent at-home hygiene as routine as washing your face lays the foundation for saving significantly versus later alternatives. Electric toothbrushes enhance manual techniques, while interdental brushes and sticks remove plaque from between teeth more affordably than expensive periodontal treatments down the line. Choosing a custom-fitted night guard from Discovery Dental & Implants also prevents costly restorations from damage like teeth grinding.

Floss Daily

Though an additional 120 seconds, flossing removes sticky plaque causing 90% of cavities and gum disease according to your hygienist at Discovery Dental & Implants. Left unchecked, this progresses to bone and tooth loss demanding pricey reconstructive procedures like periodontal surgery, multiple fillings, or even extractions. Investing in oral irrigators or periodontal tools deep cleans pockets more thoroughly maintaining health naturally.

Schedule Routine Cleanings 

Regular exams and cleanings by Discovery Dental & Implants catch potential issues earliest addressing them least invasively. Delaying or skipping these identify problems later demanding root canals or even tooth replacement. Most insurance covers two cleanings and exams annually, an absolute bargain versus extensive restorative bills later.
