There is a direct link between dental visits and keeping your natural teeth. Gallup Poll's 2014 study shows that states with more dental visits have lower rates of adult tooth loss. For instance, 74% of adults in Connecticut visited the dentist, with only 9% experiencing tooth loss, while in West Virginia, only 57% visited the dentist, and 37% experienced complete tooth loss. This correlation highlights the importance of regular dental visits. If you lose your teeth, we offer dental implants, bridges, or dentures, but regular preventive care is more effective and cost-efficient. Call us to schedule an appointment.

Scheduling a dental check-up can prevent toothaches and infections, which can lead to missed work. The CDC reports 164 million work hours lost annually due to dental health issues. Regular check-ups help avoid serious conditions and prevent the need for time off. Without preventive care, you risk tooth decay, infection, and gum disease.

At Elliott.N.Abrams D.D.S, we ensure your dental checkup is comfortable and relaxing, especially if you have dental phobia. If issues like cavities are found, we address them gently to minimize any discomfort.
