When you procrastinate, there is often a cost. While it might appear in the short run, that you are saving money; delaying important work can cost you much more in the long run.
Who can argue that putting off fixing the roof for another year saves money today? Maybe the roof will last another year, you rationalize. Maybe the leaks won’t get any worse and if you wait, you will have time to save money to do the work the following year. But then the rains come and your roof leaks and causes damage to your ceilings, walls and even damages your wood floors. In the end, putting off fixing your roof cost you far more … and you find yourself in a worse financial situation than before.
We all put things off at times, sometimes repeatedly. One of the areas where many of us procrastinate is with our dental care. It often starts with skipping routine dental visits —those twice-a-year appointments for an examination and having your teeth cleaned. Maybe you were too busy, or the paycheck was stretched a little too far. And how bad could it be to skip a single examination when your teeth are healthy?
Over time, one of your teeth may cause a little pain. But it’s not enough to motivate you to pick up the phone and make an appointment. But when the pain becomes severe, you choose to go the dentist. The sad truth is that you will now face the increased cost for emergency dental care. Additionally, what was a small problem that might have been fixed with a filling, is now a major problem that may require a root canal. Worse yet, the problem could cause an infection which might result in bone loss.
By postponing your care, you put your health and risk. In the end, your risk will cost you far more in lost time, money and physical pain. A problem that would have required a simple and inexpensive solution if treated in time has become a more complex dental procedure that will also cost far more.
