WebMD Health News recently cited a 2008 national survey on oral health. One of the major conclusions of the study was that it was care cost, not fear, which played a bigger role in neglect of oral health and consistent. It’s unfortunate that more individuals don’t have the means to afford the care they need. Lack of income for health care has serious negative impact patients of all age groups. While the 2008 study was centered on Americans between the ages of 18 and 64, children and seniors have extra special requirements when it comes to promoting good oral health—and cost can be a major concern. For my patients and those in the San Lorenzo are who are need of affordable dental care, I want you to know that cost shouldn’t come between you and the health of your smile. To make dental care affordable for individuals and families, my practice offers a no down payment, interest free monthly payment plan.
The monthly payment plan is designed to make dental care accessible and affordable for all of my patients. I understand that many people are struggling and tightening their spending as much as possible, but I urge you not to sacrifice your oral health in the process. If you don’t have insurance and you cannot afford upfront cost for the dental care you need, please contact my practice. We take the time to work with all of our patients to come to a realistic and affordable monthly payment plan that make sense for them.
For complete information on our monthly payment plan and to schedule your visit, please contact my practice, Lewelling Dental Care by visiting: http://www.lewellingdental.com/ or by calling 510-276-6040.
Yours in good smile health (and affordable, quality oral care),
Dr. Shital Kazi, DDS, FAGGD
