After 10 years of avoiding the dentist, David paid a visit to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan’s dental expert Dr. Gary Vance for a check up. David received a full cleaning and spoke with Dr. Vance about the importance of visiting the dentist twice a year, as well as:
- Has a dental appointment changed much in 10 years?
- What is gum disease and is it more than just bad breath?
- What will a dental exam actually include?
Do you think David will end up with any cavities? Be sure to take a look at the full visit below!
