An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, much to the chagrin of brokers who invested heavily in cure. Get in while prevention’s still hot with today’s Groupon: for $49, you get a dental package at Williams’ Family Dentistry in Malvern (up to a $162 value). The dental package includes :

• An exam (a $52 value)
• X-rays (a $34 value for two x-rays; a $48 value for four x-rays)
• A cleaning (a $62 value)
  
  

Williams’ Family Dentistry’s seasoned staffers examine and de-grime tusks during approximately 45-minute appointments. After a skilled technician snaps either two or four bitewing x-rays depending on the patient needs, the doctor will venture into mouth caves in search of cavities, gum disease, and ingrown milk moustaches. Once he or she thoroughly probes teeth and examines x-rays for any internal issues, a hygienist sloughs off plaque and evicts unfashionable tartar stains from pearly premises to yield healthier looking smiles and Mr. Ed impersonations.

Williams’ Family Dentistry rural office swells with country charm, boasting old-fashioned stair rails that guide patients to the second floor’s muted yellow and lavender walls speckled with framed Victorian art and still-life portraits of Kenny G’s alto sax.
