🦷 Self-investment to protect your future smile. Why I never miss my "quarterly dental checkup"
Hello! It's Chaso-sensei 🧑🏫!
For those of us in the child-rearing generation who are conscious of "saving money," the thing we tend to put off is regular dental checkups. However, this is actually the "ultimate risk management" to prevent huge future expenses and health risks.
🩸 Bleeding gums are an "SOS from your body"
Do your gums bleed when you brush your teeth? It's easy to overlook as "something that happens," but this is actually the same state of "injury" as bleeding from a finger.
Countless bacteria live inside your mouth. Bleeding means the blood vessel barrier is broken, and it's a sign that germs are free to enter your body. It is said that when these bacteria travel through the bloodstream throughout the body, they can trigger serious illnesses in the future, such as worsening diabetes or arteriosclerosis (myocardial infarction/stroke).
🍱 The decline in "QOL" you only notice after it's gone
If you had to have a tooth pulled due to cavities or periodontal disease, how would our lives change?
The joy of eating decreases
The stress of not being able to chew your favorite foods to your heart's content is greater than you can imagine 😱😱
Changes in appearance
Losing teeth can change your facial impression, and you might lose confidence in yourself. People in jobs where they are seen by others, like on TV or YouTube, worry about their tooth alignment and color. That's how much it affects the impression you give others. It might not seem relevant to us ordinary people, but could it be that you're missing out on opportunities just because of that?
A huge blow to the household budget
After an extraction, implant treatment and the like are so expensive that they can blow away the savings you worked so hard to accumulate.
✨ The peace of mind that "once every 3 months" brings
Instead of "going only when it hurts," decide to "just go to get tartar and plaque removed." Making it a habit is important 🦷
Thorough cleaning by a professional
Reset the dirt you can't remove yourself. Even if you've been neglecting it because you're busy with work, you can rest easy with this.
Early detection and early treatment
If you can notice small changes, treatment costs and time can be kept to a minimum. Asking each other, "Did you book your checkup this month?" is the best action to protect your partner's health and future happiness. First, let's book an appointment with the dentist 🦷 right now! If you're hesitating even a little because it's a holiday or not during office hours, make an effort to lower the hurdle of going to the dentist, such as by finding a dentist that is open 365 days a year or one in your neighborhood! 😃
It's subtle, but it's important 🙆
Thank you for watching 😊
