The Problem:
The cost of a visit to the dentist is a major deterrent to
most Americans that lack insurance, particularly with the
rising costs of dental care. Some additional important
facts about Dental Care Include:
- Americans spend over $2 billion on toothpaste, mouthwash,
dental floss and other products.
- About 50% of Americans do not get regular checkups. The
reason for this apparent contradiction between all the money
spent on dental hygiene and a lack of regular checkups is
pretty simple... cost.
- Preventive services such as routine examinations of the
teeth and gums, cleanings and fluoridation are key components
to maintaining healthy teeth.
If you still aren't sure how valuable
a good dental policy can be, think about this:
- Ninety-six percent of the U.S. population experience dental
cavities in their lifetime.
- Fifty percent of all American youth aged 17 and under
have experienced cavities in their permanent teeth.
- Seventy-five percent of the U.S. population has some
form of gum disease.
- About 50 percent of those above age 65 have lost their
teeth and many wear dentures.
- You only get one set of permanent teeth.
You owe it to yourself to do everything you can to make
sure they last a lifetime.
If you've ever had a root canal that could have been prevented
through regular care, you'll really appreciate the expression...
"an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
This also translates into simple dollars and cents. By spending
a small amount now for dental care, you can save thousands
of dollars in the years ahead.
