Running a household involves a lot of budgeting and of course it doesn’t get cheaper the more kids you have.
In my time as a mum, I’ve heard too many times from friends and family living all over the world about the more expensive aspect of dental care. Many a time, dental care is not as widely covered under health insurances as normal medical bills.
So how do we avoid spending unnecessary family budget on that aspect? In the UK, we are very lucky that dental care is pretty much free for all children regardless of their parents income. Even orthodontics are free for them. (Having said all that, we are currently paying for our eldest daughter’s special orthodontics)
I have barely spent any money on seeing the dentist since I left school and had to pay for the whitening of my teeth after 2.5 years of wearing a set of metal braces. Why not keep it that way for as long as possible, right? My husband and our 4 children are now sharing the same methods.
My only bill? Paying £18 (USD 25) for an NHS dental inspection to get that all green light every 6 months. Happy Days! 🙂
I’ve shared below all the methods I use to keep my teeth sparkling clean, my gums pink and my breath fresh.
