Don’t Wait Until It Hurts To Visit Your Boise Dentist

Patients throughout the Treasure Valley often don’t visit their downtown Boise dentist until something chips, breaks, or hurts. However, waiting until something hurts is a terrible idea because it often results in expensive repairs that could have been prevented.

Even worse, many dental issues like periodontal (gum) disease or tooth decay won’t cause any pain until they’re in an advanced stage which often requires a complex treatment plan. By being proactive about your preventative care appointments, the Boise dentists at Summit Dental Group can detect and prevent many issues with less invasive treatment options.  

Dental Health Affects Your Overall Health

It’s now a well-accepted fact that there is a direct link between your Boise dental health and your overall health. In fact, most studies suggest that the bacteria and inflammation that causes gum disease also contributes to other major health issues like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. That’s why maintaining your oral health is an important step to protecting your overall health.

The Importance Of Preventative Care

Preventative dental care is the same as any other kind of preventative medicine. By taking care of minor problems ahead of time, you will avoid bigger, much more expensive and painful problems down the road. Even better? The dentists at Summit Dental Group are here to help with all your Boise dental needs to prevent unwanted problems.

• Comprehensive patient exams

Benefits of Preventative Dental Care

Keeping your teeth and gums healthy isn’t the only reason you should maintain preventative Boise dental care. Below are some additional benefits to think about.

Save Time & Money – Routine dental exams and Boise teeth cleanings are relatively cheaper compared to the cost of major dental procedures. By investing in preventative dental care, you will not only save money but time spent in the dentist’s chair for major corrective procedures.

Avoid the Dentist – Don’t like going to the dentist? By maintaining your preventative dental care appointments, you will only have to visit our office twice a year while avoiding things like drills, shots, and pain.

Avoid Secondary Problems – Boise dental problems often get worse before they get better, especially when left untreated. By maintaining preventative dental care, you will not only keep your teeth and gums healthy, you will avoid minor problems that can turn into major problems down the road.
