Treating Your Smile Now Versus Later: 3 Things To Remember

You may think to yourself that treating your smile now is the the same thing as treating your smile later. You figure that it’s all about getting it done eventually. However, what our Auburn Hills, MI team would like to point out is that this is actually not accurate. Treating your smile sooner than later with consistent dental care is extremely important in promoting a smile that’s healthy now and later. Learn more about what we mean!

#1: Treating It Now Is More Budget Friendly

If you treat your smile right now, then you only have to consider costs for your preventive dental care (and then you add on any work you may require to get your oral health back into good condition). If you wait, then those “to get your oral health back” costs are going to go up and up. Why? Well, because problems progress when we’re talking about your smile. The more they progress, the greater the damage, and then the amount of treatments and the complexity of those treatments you require become greater, too! Start now to be kind to your budget (and then keep up with prevention for the most cost-effective approach to smile care).

#2: Treating It Now Helps You Form A Routine

When you wait and wait to treat your smile, you may find that it becomes somewhat of a novelty (or a thorn in your side!). You forget to schedule your dental visits for cleanings and checkups. You look at restorative care as something that you have to squeeze in when you realize you need it. It’s easier to fall behind or procrastinate or simply feel like you don’t have a handle on your dental care because it’s something you never made part of your life. If you start right now, you have more time for it to become part of your routine and to become habit. The result? It becomes so much easier to keep your smile healthy.

#3: Treating It Now May Save Your Teeth In The Long Run

Treat your smile right now with dental care and you’ll be able to maintain your oral health, keep as much of your natural tissue as you can, and enjoy a smile that stays in place for many years to come. Wait and try to treat your smile later and you’re more likely to run into problems like tooth loss and the need for prosthetics that you could have easily avoided with early care!
