AP9 PremierHealthPlus Provides Savings on Dental Visits

October is National Dental Hygiene Month — and it’s not too late to schedule a date with your dentist. Your teeth are important and sometimes we tend to take them for granted. But it is recommended by the American Dental Association that you visit your dentist at least once every six months for a thorough inspection of your pearly whites and gums.

Why should you visit your dentist on a regular basis? According to the ADHA (The American Dental Hygienists’ Association) it’s important that patients be screened regularly for signs of cavity decay and gum disease. The sooner they find and address troubles spots, the greater your chances of keeping the problem under control.

-- Cavity Prevention. Cavities are the number one cause of tooth loss in children. Parents and caregivers should instill good brushing and flossing habits during infancy so they will continue into adulthood. Young children should start seeing a dentist as early as one year of age to have their teeth checked for cavities. To learn more about oral health for children, CLICK HERE.

-- Periodontal Disease (disease of the gums). Nearly 75% of American adults suffer from various forms of periodontal (gum) disease and don’t know it. Periodontal disease is not only the number one cause associated with adult tooth loss, but may also be connected with some other serous health conditions, like: diabetes, heart disease, oral cancer and others.
