Baby Boomers Health

Sorry about that but something happened. Anyway, there is going to be an increase in spending for health care by the baby boomers in general, as they are going to be losing benefits from work and will be requiring more health care, which in turn requires more money.

As far as dental health goes, the will be increased spending without question, because let's face it, baby boomers are living longer and want better dental health and better quality of life. The smile and the mouth are one of the most important body parts, but is often the most ignored.

Cosmetics are important, but the healthy foundation is going to take you for the long run. The health of the foundation of the mouth, basically the gums and bones, is the most important aspect to dentistry that noone talks about or wants to deal with. Most people want the quick fix and instant gratification, but that is not always the correct way to go.

My baby boomer parents would always say that haste makes waste, and as I've become a parent, I've learned that this is true.

As a periodontist, a gum and bone dental specialist, I've seen it first hand how much damage ignoring the foundation can create.

I've got a simple formula for saving money and increasing your overall dental health from here on out, and it is really simple.

YOU MUST GET YOUR TEETH CLEANED EVERY 3 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!

Now you should be asking me how increasing expenditure with dental cleanings, even when most insurances will not cover the additional cleanings, how is this going to save me money? If you stay cleaner, you will have fewer problems that are significantly more expensive as you get older.

Spend a couple extra hundred dollars now to save a few thousand dollars later. Also that saved money stays in your retirement accounts longer.
