💙 Our goal is simply to raise awareness.
Small, everyday expenses often don’t feel significant in the moment — $3–$5 here and there — but over the course of a year, those costs can add up quickly. Preventive dental care is often one of those things that feels easy to postpone, even though its long-term value is high.
🦷 Preventive dental care
• Two cleanings, exams, and routine X-rays per year: ~$400–$600- Dependent on level of health
Examples of common everyday services (approximate annual costs):
🚬 Smoking / va**ng: $2,000–$4,000+
🍷 Alcohol (at home & social): $1,000–$3,000+
☕ Coffee on the go: $1,000–$2,000+
🍔 Eating out / takeout: $2,000–$4,000+
💇♀️ Hair services: $1,000–$3,000+
💅 Nail services: $600–$1,500+
💈 Barber visits: $500–$1,200+
💡 Why regular dental care matters:
When preventive care is delayed or skipped, small dental issues can progress into larger problems. Ongoing oral inflammation has been linked to heart conditions and can contribute to other systemic and autoimmune conditions, making them more difficult to manage over time.
✨ Everyone budgets differently, and there is no judgment.
Our goal is simply to help patients understand how small costs add up — and how preventive dental care is a meaningful investment in both oral and overall health.
