Affordable Preventive Care for Families
Daily habits like brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and eating a balanced diet are simple forms of preventive care that can save you money over time by reducing the need for costly procedures. This daily preventive care happens at home, but complete preventive care doesn’t stop there.
Your daily routine plays a big role in your whole-person health by maintaining good oral health and promoting healthy habits. Regular dental checkups are also important. These may be twice a year or more, depending on your dentist’s recommendations. During a checkup at PCH, some preventive measures that may take place are:
- X-rays
- Cancer screenings
- Cleanings
- Fluoride treatments
- Sealants
- Education on proper oral hygiene techniques and nutrition
