Ways To Lower Your Dental Costs - Parkway Dental Center

Do you avoid going to the dentist because you’re worried about dental costs? If so, you’re not alone.

A recent survey found that 22.9% of adults didn’t plan to see a dentist in the next year, with 40% of them saying it was because of their cost concerns. Unfortunately, avoiding the dentist isn’t the best way to save money on dental care. It actually may make your dental bills higher.

Here are several effective ways to keep your dental costs down.

Regularly brushing and flossing your teeth doesn’t just keep your breath smelling fresh. A good, consistent oral hygiene routine can also help you prevent dental problems like cavities and gum disease.

At Parkway Dental Center, our Doctors recommend to brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Proper brushing takes about two minutes, so don’t rush it. Make sure you brush the inside, outside and chewing surface of each tooth.

Don't forget to floss before you brush! Many people don't floss their teeth daily even though it's a vital part of the oral health. Flossing helps clean between teeth and under the gum line.

Our Dentist Minneapolis and Hygienists at Parkway Dental Center in Minneapolis recommend two checkups each year. Don't be tempted to skip these routine appointments, they are well worth it: your dentist may notice dental issues that you can't see or feel and treat them early on - whether it's finding a small cavity that hasn't become a nuisance quite yet, or spotting the early stages of gum disease.

When dental problems are treated early, they tend to be easier — and less expensive — to fix.

Avoiding the dentist by doing nothing may end up costing you a lot more in the long run. For example, cavities may not hurt when they're small, so you may feel like you don’t need to go to the dentist. But untreated cavities only get bigger over time, causing symptoms like tooth sensitivity, toothaches, and other problems as they grow.

Any untreated issue might end up costing more in the future if left unaddressed.
