Dental Health: Cost or Investment?

by Chiara Mastroleo

With the crisis, more and more people have to postpone the appointment to the dentist and the more demanding interventions and are forced to neglect dental care. However, the MC20 clinic reminds us that dental health does not represent a cost but an investment since it allows to maintain the person’s well-being.

However, the problem is not only the high costs of dental treatment but also the presence of those who practice the profession illegally. Relying on unskilled people is dangerous since dental therapies can have serious contraindications for general health. This is why it is important to have dental visits, check-ups, and interventions with professionals who, like the dentists who work in the MC20 clinic, have the qualifications and the preparation to perform the medical profession. Only this way will dental health change from cost to investment, and taking care of the teeth will become a way to achieve general well-being.

Taking care of your smile and showing perfect teeth is not just a matter of aesthetics. Healthy teeth contribute to improving the health of the individual. Let’s see why.

Dental health: the importance of a healthy mouth

MC20 dentists like to remind patients how the health of the teeth and mouth, directly and indirectly, affects a person’s health. We think about the importance of correct chewing to have a varied diet and facilitate digestion, reducing disorders affecting the digestive system.

Or the correct occlusion of the mandible and maxilla for the prevention of joint disorders and the reduction of recurrent migraines. Even the orthodontic interventions not only have an aesthetic value but allow you to avoid disabling disorders in adulthood.

Price of the dental service: how it is composed

The dentist’s price list consists of some variable costs, which include the salary of the staff and materials of the dental office, and fixed costs such as rent or purchase of the study, equipment, utilities, and cleaning.

An expensive performance often means a higher quality performance, as fixed costs include investments in technology. The most modern devices have high costs within the reach of structured studies and offer complex and specialized services to patients. On the other hand, rents and bills account for 4-6% of the cost of the surgery and the dental visit.

However, even those who turn to the dentist and want to save money must never give up on the quality of the materials, which must have CE certifications and be covered by a guarantee, and the professionalism of the doctors.

Investing in dental health: how to choose a dentist

Choosing the right dentist is essential to receive the best treatment and develop a relationship of trust with the professional who will take care of your dental health. This way, you will avoid the fear of undergoing visits to safeguard the health of the mouth. How to choose the best dentist?

Here are some things to consider:

  • location: the ideal dentist is close to home, especially if a series of interventions are to be carried out even if the location of the office is not secondary to the preparation and reliability of the dentist;
  • flexibility: those who work from Monday to Friday can orient the choice on a dentist who works all day or also works on Saturday morning;
  • specialization: if you go to the dentist for specific problems, it is important to identify a specialized center with the best professionals and the most advanced instruments;
  • reputation: for choosing the best dentist, you can also rely on the reviews and opinions of patients published online;
  • first, visit: during the first visit, you can check if the dentist you have chosen represents a cost or an investment, analyzing cleanliness, organization, the kindness of the staff, and the technology available. 

As you can see, choosing a dentist is a task not to be left to chance, especially if you want to transform dental health from a cost to an investment for the person. For this reason, at MC20, we work with competence and passion to offer customers advanced technology and make expert professionals available who know how to take care of the mouth and solve any problem.
