Faqs on General Dentistry
By going to the dentist at least twice a year, you can catch dental issues early, often before they require more expensive procedures such as:
Fillings ($100 – $300 for basic fillings)
Root Canals ($700 – $1,500 or more)
Crowns ($1,000 – $2,500 per crown)
Tooth extractions and implants, which can cost $1,000 – $3,000+ per tooth.
Gum disease can lead to tooth loss and the need for dental implants, which are far more expensive than routine cleanings or fillings.
Cleans these hard-to-reach areas, removing plaque and debris that brushing alone misses. Plaque left between the teeth can harden into tartar, which requires professional cleaning to remove.
Avoiding the need for fillings, root canals, and crowns (potential savings of $1,000 – $3,000+).
Preventing gum disease treatment, which can cost from $500 to $5,000 depending on the severity.
Avoiding tooth extractions and implants, which could save you anywhere from $1,000 to $6,000+.
Cavities most commonly develop between teeth, where food and plaque accumulate. Flossing and Brushing removes the plaque that forms between teeth.
If your tooth sensitivity lasts for more than a few days, gets worse, or is accompanied by other symptoms like swelling, bleeding gums, or severe pain, make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible.
