Healthy teeth can save you money!

Published January 23 2012 by Amber Francis | Topic:

You can save money by coming to your regular check ups. By staying on top of your dental health you can avoid costly procedures and other health conditions that can result from periodontal disease.

 

A recent article from perio.org states “Research has shown, and experts agree, that there is an association between periodontal diseases and other chronic inflammatory conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, treating inflammation may not only help manage periodontal diseases but may also help with the management of other chronic inflammatory conditions.  A periodontal evaluation may be especially important if you:  Have a high risk for periodontal diseases. Have heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease or osteoporosis, or are thinking of becoming pregnant. Have a family member with periodontal disease.”

At our office, we are proud to provide you with a periodontal evaluation every six months at your hygiene appointments.  This is just one of the ways that staying informed about your dental health can help save you money!
