Although it’s unders . it's really false y: like saving money by not changing the oil in your car. Today, the most practical and economical approach to dentistry is preventive. With regular checkups, cleaning, fluoride applications and oral hygiene instruction, problems can be avoided or-treated at a very early stage. The costs involved with these procedures are very low in relation to the price of neglect. This can be illustrated by considering an individual tooth in various Yegrees of breakdown and the resulting costs of treatment. Fees quoted here are only approximate and will vary with the difficulty of procedure, the time required, material costs and laboratory charges. The lower first adult mdlar erupts at about six years of age. Because ithas deep grooves on the surface anid comes in at such an early age, itis highly susceptible to decay. But this can be prevented with daily brushing and flossing, fluoride applications and a sealant. Sealants are clear, hard plastic coatings which, when painted onto teeth when they first erupt, are effective in preventing decay. Cost = $15 per tooth. If the tooth isn’t sealed and plaque can't be controlled, the biting surface will develop a cavity. At this stage a small filling is necessary. Cost = $42. Most decay in adults occurs between the teeth, and can only be prevented by regular cleaning with floss. Treating this type of cavity is more difficult and requires more time and, of course, a higher fee. Cost = $56. If greater breakdown occurs, a full crown may be required to prevent breakage of the fragile tooth. Gold alloys are used most often due to their excellent strength, durability, finishing characteristics and resistance to corrosion. Cost 70. PICTURING PEACE . peace meons to themdui .

Pus forms in the pulp chamber and will cause acute pain when the infection spreads to the bone around the roots of the tooth. The tooth can be saved with root canal therapy, whereby infected debris is removed from the root canals which are then filled with special materials. The lower molar generally has three or four canals, and the involved procedure usually requires multiple appointments. Cost = $377 Teeth that have undergone root canal treatments are usually badly broken down and quite weak due to the large amount of destroyed tooth material. The dentist may recommend a reinforcing post in the tooth root, plus a full crown. Cost = $550. Removal of the tooth is required if it cannot be saved. Leaving the space vacant can cause further problems; treatment usually advised to replace one tooth is a fixed bridge supported by crowns on the two adjacent teeth. Cost = $1400 to $1800. Looking over these figures, you can sce that it's possible to spend a great deal of money repairing or replacing even one tooth. Taking a positive approach to preventing dental problems with regular professional recalls and excellent home care can help avoid these problems. Remember, there are 31 other permanent teeth besides this first molar! This column-written by B-C-dentist Dr- William McNiece-is reprinted courtesy of Today's Health.
