Most people don’t realize the crucial difference between preventing tooth decay and oral disease versus treating it after it has already caused damage. Prevention isn’t just the better choice—it’s the only choice that truly benefits you, your family, and your wallet.
Prevention Is: ✅ Less painful ✅ Less costly ✅ Less time-consuming ✅ Less complicated ✅ Able to help more patients ✅ Effective at reducing infections ✅ Essential for improving both oral and general health ✅ The key to long-term well-being ✅ Something that begins even before birth ✅ A strategy that protects the entire family The Reality of Treatment vs. Prevention Let me share a personal experience that mirrors what every pediatric dentist sees daily. On a typical day in the hospital operating room, I treat four young patients, each just four years old. Every child has an average of 10 decayed teeth, requiring complex, extensive, and often distressing treatment. That’s 40 decayed teeth treated in just one day! Compare that to a typical day in my office, where I focus on prevention. Instead of treating four children, I can provide preventive care for 50 to 60 patients—offering guidance, minor treatments, and simple preventive measures that keep their teeth healthy. The bottom line? The total cost of care is the same, but preventive care costs 12 to 15 times lower than treatment. And the benefits? Far greater. Parents have peace of mind, children experience little to no pain, and families save significant money over time. Prevention Saves Money, Your Teeth,—And Your Smile Better oral health starts at home. You don’t need expensive treatments or painful procedures to protect your family’s teeth. Simply following these steps can prevent tooth decay: ✔ Brush twice daily, especially before bed ✔ Use Dr. Branam’s Xylitol Toothpaste—clinically tested and proven to be three times more effective than standard fluoride toothpaste ✔ Visit the dentist at least once a year for regular checkups. The Best Toothpaste for True Prevention The only toothpaste that has been clinically tested and proven to outperform mainstream fluoride toothpaste significantly is Dr. Branam’s Xylitol Toothpaste. Its unique formula, with at least 30% xylitol, makes it safe to swallow and most effective when NOT spit out—ensuring maximum protection against cavities.
Let’s work together to create a healthier, happier future—starting with prevention. For Better Dental Health, Dr. Steve Branam
