Make Huge Savings – Your Teeth That Is
- 9 June 2011 by admin 0 Comments
According to a recent survey of British Dentists by the British Dental Association, an alarming percentage of the UK’s population are putting finances before dental treatment, deferring and cancelling appointments more than ever.
Of the 251 dentists polled, sixty eight percent reported their patients were deferring treatment, with 59 percent reporting cancelled appointments. Unfortunately a consequence of these figures is a sharp rise in the number of patients requiring emergency treatment over the last 12 months, something that could easily have been avoided if regular check-ups were adhered to.
Regular dental check-ups should not be missed, not only because they can identify gum disease in good time, but they can also identify more serious underlying health problems including related heart disease, arthritis and diabetes.
At Dove we understand the financial strains many face today and with a number of treatment plans available, we can often undertake check-ups and treatments competitively priced in relation to the NHS. We can’t stress enough that short term financial savings should not be put before long term health.
