We won’t beat around the bush. We know that great dental care can come with a hefty price tag. But, forgoing dental care can come with some pretty hefty repercussions. Skipping out on your dental visits every six months can wreak havoc on the health of your teeth and gums. Bacteria can build up; before you know it, it creates tooth decay, bad breath, gum disease, and more. Even worse, without dental treatment, you could be setting yourself on the path to tooth loss.

The importance of affordable dental care. 

An article from Byte suggests that 30% of people have not been to the dentist since the Covid-19 outbreak. Sure, much of this was because dental clinics were closed for some time and people got out of the habit. And though the pandemic is largely behind us, people are still not getting the critical dental treatments that they need.

What’s the primary reason people skip out on their dental appointments? Well, as it turns out, it’s the cost. Next up on the list is dental anxiety, just not wanting to go and spend time in the dental chair, fear that they might have a cavity or the lack of dental insurance.

At Dental Care Associates of Buffalo, we don’t want cost to be the reason you are staying away. We believe in the importance of affordable dental care for everybody. That’s why we offer our savings plan (or as we like to call it, our $avings Plan). Let’s take cost out of the equation so that you can get the care that you need.

Key benefits of our savings plan.

As we shared earlier, so many people skip dental visits due to worries about cost. Finding money for regular dental care can be tough. But, small dental issues can turn into big, expensive problems if not taken care of. 

That’s why we’ve made it easier for everyone to afford preventive care and other treatments. This way, everyone can keep their teeth and gums healthy without stress.

How to protect your teeth between dental visits.

Let’s put those costs above in perspective. Though pricing can vary, the average cost of a professional dental; cleaning alone is over $100. And, you need your teeth cleaned at least twice per year to help rid your mouth of harmful bacteria. X-rays can really add up, too, especially if you need them frequently. So, what you get from a membership plan can certainly be well worth the investment.

This said, there are things you can and should do at home, between dental visits. Taking good care of your teeth and gums can lessen the risk of needing more costly dental treatment later. Here are some tips to help keep your smile healthy and happy.

• Brush twice a day: Use fluoride toothpaste and brush for two minutes. Hint, hint: Use your new Oral-B PrecisionClean toothbrush!
• Floss daily: Flossing removes food and plaque your brush can’t reach.
• Rinse with mouthwash: A fluoride mouthwash can help protect your teeth from decay. Rinsing your mouth with mouthwash after flossing can help rid your mouth of those loosened particles.
• Eat tooth-friendly foods: Crunchy fruits and vegetables can help clean your teeth.
• Limit sugary snacks: Sugar can lead to cavities, and since cavity prevention is the name of the game, try to cut back and enjoy sugary foods in moderation.
• Drink water: Water helps clean your mouth and keeps you hydrated.
• Avoid tobacco: Smoking or chewing tobacco can harm your teeth and gums.
• Wear a mouth guard: If you play sports, protect your teeth from injury.
