Another Way A+ Family Dentistry Serves Our Patients
Did you know around 74 million Americans don’t have dental insurance? Despite being a necessary part of maintaining overall health and well-being, dentistry is still viewed as an optional luxury. For this reason, those without access to affordable dental insurance are often unable to go to the dentist at all, and their health suffers as a result. Preventive care is crucial for maintaining your health and reducing the need for costly emergency treatments in the future. People who do not have dental insurance are more likely to suffer from gum disease, lose a tooth from tooth decay, or end up needing uncomfortable dentures. Studies show that being unable to visit the dentist due to a lack of dental insurance can also increase your risk for other nondental-related health problems. Of people who do not have dental benefits:
• 67 percent are more likely to have heart disease. 50 percent are more likely to have osteoporosis. 29 percent are more likely to have diabetes. At A+ Family Dentistry, almost half of all the patients we see don’t have any sort of dental benefits. These are the patients we only see when there’s an emergency because they cannot afford regular preventive care. We are committed to taking care of our patients’ health, and we believe patients shouldn’t be forced to choose between buying groceries and getting their teeth cleaned. This is why we have created an in-house benefits plan to make dental care more affordable for our patients. • •
