When you get near retirement don’t forget your oral health.

Recently a friend of mine who is an inconsistent patient of mine retired. While his wife comes in regularly, he hadn’t been in for several years when he retired last year.

Two months later he broke a tooth and came into see me. Because of extensive decay in the tooth, (that was also part of a Bridge), we had to make a new Bridge, replacing three teeth.

Now if my friend had come in before he retired and lost his insurance he would have saved $2000.00

So when you approach retirement, I recommend two to three years in advance, come in and visit me and let’s make sure we look at getting your teeth in the best shape possible in preparation for your retirement.
