The old saying “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is never been more truer in regards to dentistry.  Preventative dentistry is relatively easy, quick, and inexpensive.  Preventive dental care first starts from home with brushing, flossing and eating a well.   By taking care of your dental health and having good dental habits you will be able to avoid larger dental issues.  However preventive dental care does not stop there.  Seeing a dentist for your twice a year check ups  is  also an important part of  your dental care health.  Only a dentist can catch small issues and correct them before larger dental care is needed.

When you combine having good oral health care habits with dental insurance,  preventive dental care cost is more affordable.  Many dental insurance plans want their insured’s to have preventive care services. Therefore preventive care is normally free to very low in cost to their members.
