We have all had moments where we put off something important. All kinds of things can get pushed aside and even forgotten because we are simply not ready to tackle them yet. But when it comes to your oral and dental health, procrastinating is the last thing you should do.   

Time can be precious, but so is your oral health. Being proactive about your dental care will benefit your smile. It will also benefit your pocketbook and result in a more positive experience with your dentist.    

When you put off essential dental care, that could mean a more invasive and more expensive procedure in the future. But when you seek help early, right at the beginning of a problem, you can receive more conservative dental treatment.    

Some of the most common things that are put off are treatment for gum disease and cavities. But treatment for both is much easier and more cost effective when it happens early.
