Healthy Smiles – Even without Insurance

by | Jan 22, 2015

Many people, including residents of Hendricks County, consider a person’s smile to be the most important physical feature about them. Healthy smiles can make lasting impressions on other people, and they can even contribute to people’s overall success. But for people who don’t have dental insurance, healthy smiles may be hard for them to maintain.
For many people, a lack of dental insurance often means a lack of routine dental care, which is essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. During regular dental visits at the Hendricks County office of Danville Family Dentistry, Dr. Jon Erickson evaluates the health of your teeth and gums, looking for cavities, loose teeth and gum disease. Also, Dr. Erickson or one of our dental hygienists will clean your teeth to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
Plaque is a film of bacteria that sticks to your teeth and gets under your gum line. The acids in this bacteria can damage the enamel of your teeth and lead to cavities. Additionally, these bacterial acids can cause you to develop gum disease, which inflames your gums and can lead to an infection. Untreated cavities and gum disease can cause you to lose your teeth, leaving you with an unattractive smile.
While the lack of dental insurance may have prevented healthy smiles in the past, that’s no longer the case, thanks to Danville Family Dentistry’s Smile Savings Plan. This plan enables qualified patients to take advantage of our full range of dental services we offer.
