Save Money by Going to the Dentist

You likely know that regular checkups with your dentist can work wonders for your oral health, but would you be surprised to know that visiting California Dental Group regularly can actually save you money? That’s right! You may think of a dental checkup as nothing more than a way for us to look at your teeth, but we’re actually covering a wide range of disease that could be much more affordably and easily treated the earlier we find it.

Detecting disease early can make all the difference

When you visit a highly trained and experienced dental practice like California Dental Group, we’ll being your dental exam by checking both your neck and head. This will give us information about your lower jaw joints and lymph nodes, as well as your face and neck area. A quick check by us could catch early signs of TMJ disorder or oral cancer.

Believe it or not, these oral diseases aren’t the only things we can catch. Dentists are often the first medical professionals to spot a patient’s early warning signs of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and even diabetes. For example, a person who has diabetes is more likely to have gums that are sore and bleed easily, and to have infections more often than someone who doesn’t have diabetes.

If we’re able to catch these disease early, you can benefit greatly from early treatment. Not only will it help you save money but could result in a much better chance to fight diseases. Many of these issues, if they’re not treated, can have long-term consequences like kidney failure and even blindness.

We’ll help you save money on your dental needs

Of course, it’s very important for us to note your dental conditions as well. There are two main trouble areas we deal with: the gums and the teeth. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, starts as a simple swelling in the gums but it slowly progresses to an affection. Left unchecked, it can lead to serious – and expensive – issues in both the bones and tissues around your teeth. What starts out as plaque can turn into gingivitis and eventually into gum disease. The end result could be loose teeth that actually fall out.

Cavities are another problem we can catch early. If you have an infection in your tooth, it can eat away at your tooth, and eventually get into the soft inner part of your tooth structure. This causes a lot of pain and will lead to the necessity to have your teeth pulled. However, if we catch it early, we can generally treat it very easily.

Teeth cleanings are more valuable than you think

Of course, when you visit California Dental Group we’ll also offer a professional dental cleaning. During this process, we’ll get rid of tartar and plaque. Once we’ve done that, we’ll polish your teeth and clean between them. This helps your teeth look better and can prevent future problems. Call us at (800) 407-0161 to set up your own appointment.
