SEEK SECOND OPINIONS
If your dentist suggests a deep cleaning, ask for a second opinion. Deep cleanings
are very expensive, so it is important to ensure that you really need it. Your dentist
could be suggesting that you need it simply because he wants your money.

FOLLOW REGULAR
DENTAL CHECK-UPS
Proper dental care requires bi-yearly dentist
visits. Make two or more visits to
your dentist each year. Only by getting
care regularly can you keep big problems
at bay, depending on your situation.
Regular dentist visits will keep your teeth
clean and allow your dentist to catch
any problems before they get too serious.
Not only that, but you get more
comfortable with your dentist and the
entire experience. You need to have a
good relationship with a dentist when
you have to take care of larger problems.
Irrational fears and false beliefs have kept
millions of Americans from visiting the
dentist this year alone. Most people could
easily avoid dental problems by adopting
an efficient dental care routine and going
to the dentist regularly. Keeping these
pointers in mind should take the fear out
of seeking quality dental care.
