MANTOOTH Q: How can I keep dental expenses low? A: These days it's important to keep costs as low as possible. That includes medical and dental expenses. You may think putting off dental work is a way to save money But not only will procrastinating on a dental problem make it more serious - and more expensive - to fix down the road, but infections in the mouth, which is loaded with bacteria, can spread to other parts of the body and put you at risk for health problems, like stroke, that ultimately are far more serious than a toothache. Think of the cost of dental treatment as an investment - an investment in your teeth and in your overall health - rather than as an expense. You, of course, can help yourself considerably and minimize problems by brushing and flossing every day Keep a toothbrush and toothpaste at work and use them after eating. But whatever steps you take on your own, remember that two visits a year to a dentist for an examination and cleaning are also moves that will save you plent of money in the long run. Talk with a dentist about ways to stay healthy and keep bills down. Presented as a service to the community by HERBERT C. MANTOOTH. D.D.S.. P.A.
