It’s hard to believe that the year is almost over! As the winter holidays approach, we know that your schedule will be full of cooking, shopping, and spending time with family. It can be easy to move your oral health care needs to the bottom of your to do list to make time for other things. However, it’s important that you don’t neglect your smile care. If you need to come in for another checkup or schedule restorative care, now is a great time to get it done before your dental benefits run out for the year. In today’s blog, your team at Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, is here to remind you to plan your restorations as soon as possible.
The End Of The Year Is A Busy Time
We understand that this time of year can be busy for everyone. Your kids may be out of school for winter break, you have plenty of shopping to do, and you could also be planning to go out of town for the holidays. However, this does not mean that you should skip your biannual appointments. Our schedule is quickly filling up for patients to come in for their final cleanings and examinations of the year, meaning if you don’t plan your visit now, we may not be able to get you in. Plan your appointment now so you can go into the new year with a healthy smile.
Your Dental Benefits Run Out December 31st
In most cases, your dental benefits run out at the end of the year, and they do not rollover into the next year. This means if you have only had one checkup so far this year, you may still have coverage for a second cleaning and examination. Additionally, your plan may also include some restorative treatments. If you have been putting off getting that cavity filled, it’s a good idea to have this done now instead of in the beginning of the next year. Along with getting the most out of your benefits, you can also prevent major oral health problems in the future by filling the cavity.
Plan Your Restorations Around Winter Break
Thanksgiving and Winter Break are great times to plan more extensive dental treatments. For instance, if you have been waiting to plan dental implants, you can plan to have this done over the holiday break, so you have enough time to recover before going back to work or school. You can also plan a checkup for your entire family before you go out of town so you can ensure everyone is cavity-free before the holidays.
