Skipping Dental Visits and your Oral Health

With these tough economic times, delaying dental treatment might sound like a way to cut back on spending. But in fact, avoiding dental treatment could lead to oral health problems that require more expensive and complex procedures down the road. For example, by skipping regular checkups and cleanings you could find yourself in need of a root canal or tooth extractions. It’s important to remember the saying that dentists have preached for a long time, “You can pay a little now, or pay a lot later.”

Our team at the office Drs. Ressler, Hirschl, and Lelchuk encourage you to read this recent article from the St. Petersburg Times that discusses the topic of skipping dental visits and how they can prove to be costly in more detail.
