My small philosophy as a dentist is ‘minimum dentistry is the best dentistry’. And to achieve the minimum dentistry, prevention is a must. I find people come to see me at the last minute, pain is the strongest driving force making them come. but it is not smartest choice. not only because it is more damaging financially, but you need more dental/ surgical intervention accompanied with more suffering during/ after the procedure. for example, if you come every 6 month for check up, chances are I may be able to detect small cavaties in a very early stage and depending on the severity, It would be restored before it becomes onlay, crown, or even a root canal treatment.
Most PPO insurances provide full coverage for regular check ups and regular cleanings. if you don’t use the insurance benefit this year you may end up losing yearly benefit as most of them don’t roll over. I can’t believe the year end is just around the corner again. call your dentist today and make a preventive appointment before you get bigger problems. our number is 714-736-0100. tell Tom you found us online.
