Seeing Dentist in December

The holiday season is almost upon us. With Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and other holidays, December can be a busy month. However, it's important to keep up your oral hygiene practices.

Holiday Schedules

With holiday schedules, it's common for your schedule to be busier than usual. If your schedule is packed, and you aren't able to make it to your next appointment or follow-up to the one before it, you could miss an important step in treatment, and this could lengthen the time you need to finish your care plan.

Missing your appointment could delay your progress or even cause you to need additional treatments. So be sure to keep your regular appointments and finish your care plan on time. That way, you can take care of your smile before the holidays arrive!

No School or Work

It's the holiday season, and your schedule may be a little different this year than it is the rest of the year. With so many holiday parties and family gatherings to attend, you may not have as much free time as usual. That's OK! You can still get the dental care you need this month.

Most people have time off work during the holiday season, and some schools even close for the year between Christmas and New Year's Day. Take advantage of this time for yourself and your family and book your appointment for right after the New Year. That way, you won't have to miss any school or work and can get your smile taken care of without missing a beat.

Keep Dental Problems At Bay

The best time of year to visit the dentist is whenever you're concerned about your oral health. If you're not seeing us twice a year for your checkup and cleaning, then it's time to make an appointment. If you've noticed any changes with your smile — such as bleeding when you brush your teeth or a sore in your mouth that won't go away — let us know right away. Treating problems early can help you avoid discomfort, pain, and more extensive treatment down the road.

When you come in for a cleaning and exam, we'll discuss any issues that you have and help you come up with a plan of care for taking care of your teeth. We want you to have a healthy smile for life, so we'll work with you to make sure your gums are healthy, that you don't have tooth decay, that your bite is properly aligned, and other important factors.

If you're considering a cosmetic dental procedure to enhance your smile, now is the time to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced dentists. We can walk you through all of your options and design a treatment plan that will help you get the smile of your dreams.
