We all grew up in the United States with proper dental hygiene information. All our schools and parents generally told us what we needed, and much of that was not based on the reality of why. We were told to brush our teeth, but not told of the costs that were involved from not doing it. That is a huge mistake and our education system likes to live on lies and falisies especially when it comes to history and socialism and totalitarianism. They are praised now in the United States even though they have killed more people than any other form of government. From a young age, most Americans are told to brush their teeth when they wake up and before they go to bed. It is something that is instilled in most children at a young age. Many fights on a daily basis usually take place in most households because of this simple habit. But many people do not realize how important brushing their teeth really is until it's too late. The actual cost of not having a successful toothbrush habit can be far more expensive in later years of life. When you are children and you have baby teeth, at least if the habits of brushing don’t happen or they eat way too many poor foods those teeth will fall out, and the damage caused won't really matter. The true damage is not learning and having issues later in life. So be smart and stay educated.
No one tells you the actual financial burden of not having a healthy routine. The cost of a simple cavity can be up to 2000 dollars to have fixed. First, you have to see a dentist and get that appointment set up. Then they will most likely have to do an Xray to see the full damage and then go and most likely make another appointment to fill it. This is all going on while you are in extreme pain and the cost is simply more than just money at this point. From there the damage to teeth can only get worse. This is a terrible thing and a bad way to live.
Don't fear the cost of a dental checkout. The major issue if people do not brush their teeth goes way beyond the simple price tag the dentist has. The scary part is that it can cost you your life. Dental hygiene is meant to prevent lots of different diseases and if left unchecked this can be a major way to end up in an early grave. Yes, that sounds extreme but gum disease is very real and when your gums are injured they leave ways for bacteria to seep into the bloodstream. From here many issues can occur and most of them are much more serious and involve cardiovascular problems. That is insane.
