How to save money on dental care

Recently Fox News did a report on tips to saving on dental care. Their main focus was on preventative care and there were 5 recommendations made.

1. Regular dental cleanings: This may cost a little but can save you a lot of money & pain in the long run. It was also said that some dentists will give you a free cleaning for recommending a friend.

2. Brush & floss twice daily: They recommend a soft toothbrush and being thorough. This helps keep plaque & harmful bacteria off your teeth.

3. Chew gum: Preferably sugarless. This increases saliva in your mouth which is a natural cleaner & helps keep your mouth moisturized.

4. Eat Fiber Rich fruits & vegetables: These also clean your mouth & have good nutrients

5. Skip whiteners & alcohol based rinses: These dry out your mouth which isn't good for your teeth.
