When was your last trip to the dentist? If it’s been longer than six months, it’s time for a checkup. The end of the year is a great time for a visit because it can help ensure that your smile is happy and healthy before entering the new year. Additionally, you can get the most out of your dental benefits if you plan these visits properly. In today’s blog, your team at Riverside Dental Group in CA is here to remind you to see your dentist before the end of December.
Maintain A Healthy Smile For Next Year
Checkups are an essential part of your oral hygiene routine because they can help prevent many common oral health concerns. As you may already know, you should come in for your cleaning and examination twice a year. The cleaning can help remove plaque and prevent cavities, and your checkup can help detect signs of gingivitis, cavities, and more.
Avoid Toothaches Around The Holidays
Checkups can also help find signs of potential problems before you notice them. For instance, you may not notice that a cavity is developing before it starts to ache. However, if you see your dentist for a cleaning and examination, they may be able to find the decay and schedule restorative treatments promptly to protect the area. Without this appointment, you could be left with an aching tooth that disrupts your holiday plans. If you do experience a toothache or other dental emergency during your Thanksgiving feast, or any other time, our team offers emergency care. You can reduce pain with a cold compress or pain reducers until our team can get you in. Emergency dental treatments can range from root canals to tooth extractions and more.
Plan Restorative Work Around Breaks
With many school breaks coming up and vacations planned for the holiday season, make sure that any restorative treatments are planned around these. For instance, if you have been told you need to have your wisdom teeth removed, you can plan this during fall break to avoid missing school, work, or other responsibilities. The end of the year is a great time to plan additional dental treatments to ensure you are able to use up the most of dental benefits. These typically do not roll over on to the next year, so if you need additional treatments done, don’t wait.
