According to recent studies men go to the dentist less often then their women counterparts. There are many factors for this. Many men do not see a reason to go to the dentist unless they are having larger dental issues that need to be address. Other men feel they do not have the time for regular dental visits. Cost is also associated with lack of dental care. With dental health having a direct effect on overall health care it is important to see the dentist regardless of the excuses not to.
