Researchers at the University of Maryland Dental School in Baltimore studied, 10,582 public health records of those enrolled in Medicare who live in community-based homes to determine the effect of providing preventative oral health care services to this population. The analysis showed that Medicare beneficiaries who received regular preventative oral care visited a dental provider more often but had lower dental expenses overall than those who saw a dental professional for oral health problems only. They also had fewer visits for expensive non-preventative procedures.
Therefore if you go regularly for your preventative maintenance visits, in the long run you will spend less than those that only go when they have a problem. So, since February is Dental Health Month ~ Call and make you dental appointment today!!
