Prevention or cure? which one is more important and why?
in relation to health specially Dental Community, which is more important, PREVENTION or CURE? why?
Answers:
In relation to dental issues, my opinion would be prevention. If you get your teeth cleaned every 6 months as suggested, you can hopefull avoid things like cavaties and gum disease, or at the very least find them early while you can have the tooth filled rather than pulled and so forth. Dentists can also find problems with the roots of teeth and the jaw bones with the x rays they take.
The 'cure' to many dental issues will include extensive cleaning that require anesthesia or lots of numbing, removal of the teeth, and surgery. All those things are much more espensive than paying to have your teeth cleaned twice a year.
