In the United States most companies offer their employees dental insurance, but yet many do not. They slip through the holes of the system - the in-betweeners - that have to pay, but struggle to pay the out-of-pocket expenses.
The in-betweeners have two choices, go without any insurance, go to the dentist and take the full attack on their pocketbook, or don't go to a dentist at all and just wait till the ax to fall. And it will - there is a 50-50 chance that a toothache will hit you, or if you're married - your family.
HOW IMPORTANT IS DENTAL HEALTH?
There is more to Dental Health than a winning smile or avoiding that terrible toothache - it is important to your overall health. Let me give you one example.
Joe Smith has just learned that he has diabetes - how can diabetes affect his teeth. If you do not maintain dental health you can be at risk for:
· tooth decay
· gum disease
· salivary gland dysfunction
· fungal diseases
· infections and delayed healing
These problems can be kept in check with preventive oral health care, 6 month or yearly cleanings.
It is easy to forget our teeth, gums and mouth, but they are definitely part of our physical health and well being. And with the help of a good dental health plan - you can prevent bone disease, gum disease and infections. Visit your local dentists and talk to them about Dental Plans they may have in place to assist those financial burdens.

Does this sound familiar to you? My dentist and hygienist mentioned that I had irritated gums as they cleaned my teeth. This is a symptom of gingivitis. Gingivitis can be a stepping stone to major problems in the mouth and gum line. It can lead to periodontal disease, which is a much more serious problem with the potential for actual bone loss.
Halitosis (bad breath) could be related to a gingivitis infection as both are caused by bacteria. Red, swollen and/or bleeding gums characterize gingivitis. These symptoms are most evident upon flossing and sometimes from brushing.
Bacteria cause gingivitis. And bacteria are considered to be responsible for bad breath.
Sometimes, I could even see the bloodstains that the hygienist quietly wiped away with a towel. It was embarrassing enough to know that I wasn't controlling my gingivitis problem, but to know that she was actually trying not to make a big deal out of it was troubling.
I knew my dentist was concerned because she gave me a bottle of alcohol based mouthwash to try and mentioned that she wanted to see how I looked next time. I don't like using it; there is too much alcohol and the taste is not very pleasant. Alcohol may also dry the mucous membranes in the mouth.

Braces What To Expect:
A majority of patients wear braces anywhere from one to three years, depending upon your individual needs, followed by briefly wearing a retainer meant to hold your teeth in position.
Optimum comfort is an objective behind the design of your braces.
If you or your child has to wear braces, we recommend using special toothbrushes, rinses, and plaque fighting tablets to ensure the teeth and gums stay clean and healthy. Brush Often, after every meal and snack. Replace toothbrushes every three months as the pressure from the braces can wear the bristles down quickly. If you are unable to brush, rinse after eating, no exceptions. Bits of food can be removed from between the teeth and gums by using dental floss.
Your dentist may give you floss with a special threader to assist with flossing. Watch out for small pieces of food left behind, and remove them instantly to avoid gum infections and tooth decay. The Six Month Braces is the quick, affordable way to help you have the smile you've desired in only six months.
