Question: I do not see the point of paying to see a dentist when I have very good at home dental care habits, and don’t have any issues with my teeth I feel need to be addressed.

Reply: Regular dental visits are important because they can help spot dental health problems early on when treatment is likely to be simpler and more affordable. I point this part out because you stated you see no point in paying a dentist for a dental check up.  Yet by not doing so you may whine up spending more money having to take care of larger dental care needs. That is because a dentist is about to help prevent many problems from developing in the first place. Visiting your dentist regularly is also important because some diseases or other medical conditions have symptoms that can appear in the mouth.

If cost is an issue with regards to having regular dental visits keep in mind most HMO dental insurance plans provide preventive dental care such as check ups, cleaning and X-rays at little to no cost and these HMO insurance plans are also low in cost running around $7.00 – $20.00 a month for an individual.
