\"womanBelieve it or not, but another year is already here. As you commit to eating healthier, losing weight, or paying off debt, is a trip to your dentist in Enterprise at the top of your priority list? Although you may not think you need to go regularly, routine dental care is equally important as your toothbrush and floss. Preventive care protects your teeth and gums from common oral health issues to lower your overall dental expenses. As you head into the new year, start 2020 with a trip to your dentist for a healthy, beautiful smile.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Dental care is designed with prevention in mind to help\nensure your teeth last for a lifetime by stopping certain oral health problems\nfrom starting in the first place, like tooth decay and gum disease. Although\nyour toothbrush and floss are your first line of defense to keep your smile\nhealthy, they aren\u2019t enough. You also need to see your dentist at least twice a\nyear for a cleaning\nand checkup<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dental hygienist will remove any plaque or tartar left\nbehind by your toothbrush and floss. Your dentist will also perform a\ncomprehensive checkup to look for any concerning issues. This allows problems\nto be detected early to prevent them from worsening. Early intervention keeps\nyour teeth and gums healthy to ensure your smile lasts for a lifetime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduce Dental Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The American Dental Association recommends everyone visit their dentist at least twice a year for preventive care; however, only one-third of adults follow this advice. Often, people think they don\u2019t need to visit their dentist until after they have a problem. If you\u2019re among those who delay routine care, you might think you\u2019re saving money, but you\u2019re actually increasing your dental costs because you\u2019re opening the door to common oral health issues, like tooth decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research shows routine dental care will lower your overall oral\nhealth costs. In fact, every $1 spent on prevention can save you as much as $50\non restorative or emergency services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Now, it\u2019s easier than ever to visit your dentist without\nneeding to worry about a large bill. Your dental insurance benefits became\nactive at the start of the new year. Although every policy differs, most plans\ncover 1 to 2 preventive appointments per year. You can get the cleanings and\ncheckups you need for only a small co-payment after paying your monthly\npremiums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get a Healthy Smile in 2020<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keep a healthy smile at the top of your priority list in\n2020. If it has been over 6 months since your last cleaning and checkup, commit\nto visiting your dentist today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
