Raleigh Dentist with Dental Membership Plan ($25 a month)
Attending regular dental appointments are necessary and important. Many people look past their oral health and think it is okay to neglect this area, but in fact, neglecting your teeth is not a good habit to have. Regular dental visits are important because they can help to treat dental problems before they become even larger issues.
By visiting with a dentist early on, treatment is typically simpler and more affordable rather than waiting until a serious emergency arises, which can be costly. Keeping up with regular dental appointments can also ensure that some diseases or medical conditions that appear in the mouth can be spotted and treated in a timely manner.
During a Dental Visit:
Typically at dental checkup appointment, the dentist or dental hygienist will thoroughly evaluate the health of your gums, evaluate the head and neck and perform a screenings for oral cancer, diabetes or vitamin deficiencies. The dentist may even examine your face, bite, saliva and movement of the joints that perform the opening and closing of your jaw. The dentist and dental hygienist will most likely stress the importance of maintaining healthy oral habits and how to practice such while at home.
Dentists will pay close attention to plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth. If plaque and tartar continue to build up for a prolonged period of time, soft plaque is capable of hardening on the teeth and irritating the gum tissue. If this is not treated, plaque can easily lead to gum disease.
“The dentist is too expensive”:
If it has been difficult to go to the dentist regularly, do not neglect your oral health any longer. With help of the Affordable Care Act, continuous change has been on the horizon for health care. New options have emerged for dentists to make treatment more available to patients—discount dental plans. Essentially these dental plans are “memberships” and work like a CostCo or Sam’s Club membership. The customer pays a monthly fee and you are granted access into the store. However, with a dental membership, as the patient you would pay a monthly fee for the dental services. Additionally, it is important to note that these plans are not insurance.
