Facts About Gum Disease - From a Musicians Experience

Being a Musician I understand how dental exams can take a back seat to everyday necessities, along with monthly bills. As the economy suffered, many people were unable to afford health and dental insurance.

I suffered for some years with severe gum disease along with tooth decay. I rarely smiled on stage due to insecurities about my teeth. Due to my teeth being crooked and decayed in areas, it literally affected how I mingled with fans or those who came to see me play. I was in bad need of dental care, but I simply could not afford to go to the dentist. I finally purchased an affordable dental plan along with monthly savings to get extensive dental work started.

This is why I can help you. Its very personal for me, so I decided to help others that may be experiencing dental difficulties. No need to worry..... Affordable Dental Care can help with the costs. You will perform better on stage and most of all will gain the confidence you need in many aspects of your life. Your SMILE says alot about you :-)

Lets first take a look at a few key points about your oral health.


Did you know that your oral health can tell the story of your general health ?? Studies have shown that bad gums and teeth can be linked to Diabetes, Heart Disease and Stroke.

Studies also showed the link to gum disease in premature child birth. 75% of women get gingivitis during pregnancy. 
 

A child's first exam should be no later than around 7 years of age, but can start as early as 2 yrs of age. Preparing your child in the early years while making dental visits fun, will ease the association of "pain" and "hurt" when seeing a dentist. Bad experiences in early years can cause life long affects of how one deals with going to the dentist office.





****** 5 Signs of When You Should See a Dentist ******

1) Bleeding Gums

2) Sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet foods and drinks

3) Puffy Red gums

4) Dark Spots or holes in teeth

5) Bad Breath

Regular check-ups can prevent some of the symptoms above if detected early. The longer you wait the more symptoms occur, often with severe pain.

Don't wait any longer. Check out the dental plans and pick whats best for YOU. If you are like me, I needed a patient and gentle dentist due to bad experiences in the past. My dentist was a participant of most of the dental plans and there was no need for me to fill out any paper work. I simply presented my card and I had already researched what percentage the plan would cover. EASY and CONVENIENT !! When I walk on stage now I am confident and my recent Youtube videos I am actually SMILING....almost too much ..LOL
