How "preventive care" pays you during tough times.

Most of us get through tough times by cutting back or delaying "unnecessary" expenses. However, in order to save your teeth, your health and your money make sure you are not postponing your dental care.

You can have serious dental problems without having pain. Dental issues do not go away by themselves. They will eventually turn into more complex, painful and costly problems.

"During tought economic times, we know that health and health care can suffer, especially for those individuals who lose their insurance coverage. We want to encourage utilization of services - like preventive care - that are highly effective and relatively inexpensive.", says Brian C. Quinn, PhD of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Do not allow limited or lack of dental insurance coverage stop you from making healthy decisions. Your best dental insurance is your daily home care, getting routine preventive exams and having regular professional dental cleaning performed.

Remember these exams are highly effective and relatively inexpensive. Preventive measures will save you a lot of money in the long run. No dental plan coves all dental costs and your coverage may not cover conditions that existed before your plan became effective. However, this does not mean your condition does not need to be treated.

Do not confuse what your dental plan will cover with  the dental services you need to have performed. Your dental coverage is determined by your insurance carrier; your dental care is determined by your dental professional here at Dr. Nylaan's office.

Trying to save a few dollars by skipping preventive examinations, professional cleanings, or necessary dental work is not a wise decision.

Routine preventive care is the smart solution for your dental health and overall health!
