Skipping regular dental visits might seem like a money-saver in the short term, but it can lead to much higher costs — both financially and medically — down the road.
💡 Why Preventive Dental Care Pays Off
💰 Small Problems Become Expensive Ones
- A small cavity that costs under $200 to fix can turn into a $1,000+ root canal or crown if left untreated.
- Missing cleanings can lead to gum disease — a condition that’s costly and difficult to treat once advanced.
- Routine care is always more affordable than emergency or restorative dental procedures.
😷 Dental Health Affects Your Whole Body
Oral infections and untreated gum disease aren’t just mouth problems — they’re linked to serious health conditions like:
- Heart disease and stroke
- Diabetes complications
- Respiratory illness
- Pregnancy complications, including low birth weight
Your mouth is part of your body — and neglecting it can have real consequences.
🦷 Tooth Loss Comes at a Cost
Losing teeth due to preventable issues affects more than just your smile:
- It impacts your ability to chew and speak comfortably
- It can damage your self-esteem and social confidence
- It often leads to the need for more expensive solutions like implants or dentures
✅ Prevention Is the Best Investment
With options like the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), payment plans, or public health programs, dental care is more accessible than ever — and proactive care helps you avoid costly surprises.
