With regular preventive dental care you can keep your teeth, do it economically, improve the appearance of your smile and improve your overall health. Good preventive dental care will be more comfortable, healthier and more affordable than ignoring your dental needs until a major problem happens. We encourage you to commit to being involved regularly in your dental health. Benjamin Franklin was right: βAn ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.β Your dental health is one of the best illustrations of this philosophy.
