Top Reasons to Schedule Your Dental Appointment in the Winter

Any month is a great time for a checkup and dental cleaning, but this time of year, in particular, has its added benefits. If you’ve been putting off your next visit, now may be a perfect time to make your appointment. We know the holidays can be hectic, but scheduling your appointment at the start of the new year can help ensure your smile is ready for 2022.

Here are the top some reasons to schedule your dental appointment during the winter:

• Visiting your dentist before the end of the year could help you take full advantage of your dental benefits before they are gone. 

• Get ahead of the new year and start 2022 with a brighter, whiter smile.

• Fight the winter blues. Your oral health can affect your mental health. According to a study conducted by West Virginia University, there is a strong connection between tooth loss, depression, and anxiety.

• Cold and fllu season can be hard on your teeth. While having a cold or the flu doesn't directly cause oral problems, some of the medicines contain high fructose and sucrose, which can affect your teeth.

• We know between Christmas shopping and hosting relatives, getting your dental checkup is the last thing on your mind, but it's a great time to skip the crowds. 

If you decide to wait until the New Year, Downtown Dental will welcome you with open arms and lots of minty floss! See you soon!
