Good Oral Health Begins with Preventive Dental Care

Preventive dental care helps maintain healthy teeth and gums through regular checkups, cleaning and daily oral hygiene habits that can identify and prevent problems before they become more serious.

When it comes to your health, your teeth and gums deserve attention too. Preventive dental care is all about taking time to keep your mouth healthy and catching potential problems before they become more serious.

 

Regular dental checkups and cleanings help remove plaque buildup, identify early signs of cavities, and monitor gum health. These visits can also help detect issues that may not cause symptoms right away, making treatment easier and often less costly. And because preventive care is so important, Olympic Steel’s dental plan covers these services in full with no deductible or copay:

 

  • Palliative Treatment to temporarily relieve pain
  • Preventive Services – exams, cleanings, fluoride
  • Sealants – to prevent decay of permanent teeth
  • Brush Biopsy – to detect oral cancer (usually part of your regular cleaning)
  • X-rays

 

With our dental plan from Delta Dental of Ohio, you can receive care from any dentist you choose. Your out-of-pocket costs will be less if you choose a Delta Dental PPO network provider. Visit DeltaDentalOH.com and click “Find a Dentist”, then “Delta Dental” to find an in-network dentist near you – look for dentists in the PPO network or Premier Network.

 

PREVENTION BEGINS AT HOME

Good preventive dental care starts at home. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and limiting sugary foods and drinks can go a long way toward protecting your smile. For children and adults alike, maintaining healthy habits can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

 

A healthy mouth is an important part of overall wellness. By making preventive dental care a priority, you can help keep your teeth and gums healthy for years to come. If it has been a while since your last dental visit, now may be a great time to schedule an appointment.
