How To Make Dental Care Affordable According To A Dentist

Brush Your Teeth Before Bed

It is vital to brush your teeth to prevent gum disease. Not brushing your teeth for several days can lead to the onset of gum disease. Brushing removes stubborn plaque, which causes tooth decay and gum disease in most people.

Scrape Your Tongue!

Scraping your tongue could help maintain the right balance of “good” bacteria in your mouth. This good bacteria has the possibility of producing more nitric oxide, which encourages stem cells to grow and that repair and replace older damaged cells.

Floss!

Flossing removes irritation causing plaque to prevent the build-up of harmful bacteria and deterioration of enamel.

Mouthwash

Mouthwash can kill bacteria in your mouth, strengthen your teeth, and prevent gum disease.

Use Scissors Instead of Teeth

Teeth are not scissors. Avoid using your teeth to cut or pull on anything, like tape, bags of chips, etc. Enamel is worn down through these activities and can ultimately lead to cavities, sensitivity to temperatures, or worse.

Two Cleanings A Year

Maintain your natural smile with two visits a year. Most cleanings take approximately half an hour and could save you years of dental costs if done regularly.

Eat Healthy

A healthy diet is not only good for the rest of your body, but especially your teeth. Whatever you choose to munch, your teeth have to deal with first. Soda, among other products that are high in sugar, can lead to cavities, tooth sensitivity, toothaches & more.

In-House Dental Savings Plan

Many Americans lack dental insurance and even those insured often have insufficient coverage. Some dentists will offer a loyalty plan that allows for discounts on dental treatments + other perks. It's not insurance; These plans provide an affordable and convenient way for you and your loved ones to receive necessary oral care. At our office, we offer our own in-house dental saving plan: MegaDental Membership. MegaDental Members receive exclusive discounts on all treatments, no wait times and more.
