1. It is a sad fact that 78% of Americans will have at least one cavity throughout their lives. Over 74% of Americans are estimated to have gum disease. As many as 90% of children may have chronic gingivitis. In addition, 90% of systemic diseases will have an oral manifestation. The best way to prevent expensive treatment is to regularly see your dentist, as many of the issues that come with oral health issues can be prevented by catching them early.

2. Checkups are essential as you grow older, even more so if you use or have used tobacco products, as early detection of oral cancer is crucial to survival. The tragedy of oral cancer is that it has only a 57% survival rate for those who are diagnosed. According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, this statistic could significantly improve if everyone had regular oral checkups. Oral cancer is one of the most easily treated and survivable cancers.

3. Dental checkups are far more affordable than fixing serious problems from lack of care. We offer financing and take many insurance carriers to help you pay for general and preventive care. You owe it to yourself to keep your mouth healthy, as a healthy mouth means a healthy body.
