Let's do quick math on why dental check-ups every six months actually save money over time.

A routine check-up and scaling is straightforward. Affordable, 30 minutes, covers cleaning and basic examination. A small cavity caught at that check-up is a filling. Inexpensive, 30 minutes, no anaesthesia for most. The same cavity ignored for two years becomes a root canal plus crown. Multiple visits, about ten times the cost of the filling, and you've lost healthy tooth structure permanently. That root canal ignored further becomes an extraction. Then a missing tooth. Then either a bridge (which involves drilling down two healthy neighbours) or an implant (several times the cost of the original root canal). The pattern repeats with gum disease. Early gingivitis reverses with a cleaning. Advanced periodontitis means bone loss that doesn't grow back. The most expensive dental work we do at our South Delhi clinic is almost always work that could have been prevented or caught early. Two cleanings a year, two X-rays a year. Worth far more than any insurance plan. #PreventiveDentistry #DentalCheckup #OralHealth #DentistSouthDelhi #SaveMoney
