 Hello everybody, Andrea Mayeski here with dental and mobile hygiene. So everybody wants to know how you can save money at the dentist You know, even me we don't always have dental insurance or you know health insurance So I'm just always looking for ways to kind of how to save money when I first saw my chiropractor a couple months ago I was seeing him every week because I had never seen one I was starting to get minor issues. So I thought okay It's time to do something before it gets too late So I kind of said to him okay, so we don't have insurance You're expensive. That's what I said, but you're helping me my ultimate goal is to save money over time And you know health is money if you don't spend the money to get healthy then come Years from now you won't be as healthy as you can be and then you have to spend more money to Hopefully get back to a state of health. So with the chiropractor, it's kind of the same thing. So he said to me, you know Once we're able to fix the issues that you have now it might take a month and might take three weeks I'm not sure but then after that we can maintain things and he wants to see me now every month So that's a lot cheaper than seeing him once a week, right? But if I if I didn't go if I had waited say a couple years I would have had bigger problems and then I probably would have had to see him every week for much longer I'm in pain. I'm not happy, you know, so that's how these things work So it's the same with getting your your teeth clean with you know oral health as a whole I see people who say to me well, I don't have insurance So that's that's why it took me 10 years to come in or well That's why it took me two years because I don't have insurance yet when we see them There's so much plaque there so much tartar. They might even have a lot of cavities. They might have periodontal disease. They might have gum disease if they might have infections So we see them you always have to start somewhere. So do not worry if it's been a long time From you seeing a dentist, but we have to start somewhere But there's a lot more to do than if you come every six months We are able to maintain so even just the other day I saw a patient who hadn't been in for about three years a lot of stain a lot of plaque a lot of tartar about Five cavities and the gums were not in good shape So I was talking to him saying it's going to take a couple appointments to even clean your teeth because there's so Much there, but that's okay You have to start somewhere next time will be so much easier and then after that will be so much easier And then I can start seeing you every six months and that's it. We can do the whole cleaning in one appointment It's a lot cheaper. That's it But even now I did say to him well I want to see you every three months because the gums are in bad shape if I see you every six months the gums Will not be able to get healthy again, you know, it's kind of like a Car if you get your oil change every year There will be more problems every time you go in because not getting the oil change is a bad thing if you don't take Care of your car and don't get maintenance if you do it every three years There's going to be a lot more more, you know issues a lot more problems and that's painful because that's expensive But if you go every six months, you are able to maintain if there's any problems We can catch it early enough and say, okay, you have a little cavity, but that's it Let's take care of it now Opposed to you coming in three years later and he's saying you have eight cavities and they're so large You need a root canal on two of them, which is very very pricey and I mean who wants a root canal nobody, right? So even if it's been a long time since you have seen a dental hygienist and get your teeth cleaned Come in to see or in a story I will come to you to see you and clean your teeth so that you are a lot healthier again And it doesn't have to be be painful. I can help you So if you need help let me know if you have any any questions Let me know, but that's how you do save money is Going in every six months and not every three years You do save money that way and seeing me as your dental hygienist is a lot is a lot cheaper as well because you do not have to see the dentist for a Checkup for x-rays for everything every single time if I see something in there. I will Absolutely refer you But if I don't you don't have to see a dentist and typically people say oh if I don't have to see the dentist That's awesome But if I do let me know so I will let you know so those are some easy ways to save money I hope I did answer answer everything if I didn't let me know I am more than happy to help and thank you guys so much for watching
