The economic times continue to have a negative impact on oral health.
Many dental offices are being visited by college students that have big dental problems. This stems from the fact that many people don’t have the dental coverage for regular dental visits.
Without the routine visits, the people see their dental health suffer in the long run. They also end up spending more money on dental care because the cost to fix the problems is more than the proactive care would have been.
Since many recent college graduates are already in debt because of their education, they have to prioritize their spending. Moving out of their parents’ house, among other things, takes precedence over dental visits.
The Charlottesville, Va. area has seen many of these dental issues for people in their early 20s. The best thing to do is take care of your oral health before it becomes a problem.
