Spring Cleaning with Dr. Frederick, Mendota Heights, MN

The ground hog may have seen his shadow bringing us 6 more weeks of winter but Spring is still coming! It's time to spring into action and clean and dust your pearly whites!

Regular preventive dental cleanings can keep your mouth healthy and your breath fresher!. Not to mention the link between perio (gum disease) and your heart. Studies have shown that progressive, long term gum disease can affect your heart... it's not just those french fries make your heart hurt!

Keeping your teeth and gums healthy and clean can also help you save money! While hygienests are cleaning your teeth they are checking them for small areas of concern and decay- catching these situations early can mean the difference between a filling or an expensive crown.

Most dental insurance covers two dental hygiene cleanings per calendar year at 80 to 100% of the cost. Exams are about the same and X-rays are taken for your back teeth once per year and all of your teeth every 3-5 years. Fillings and Crowns are usually only covered at about half of their fee. Therefore prevention is the answer! It costs less, helps avoid bigger problems, helps to keep your heart healthy and best of all, your breath fresh!
