The Importance of End of Year Dental Checkups

As the year draws to a close, amidst the hustle and bustle of holiday planning and New Year resolutions, scheduling an end of year dental checkup might not be at the top of your list. However, it should be. Year-end dental checkups are essential for maintaining your oral health, making the most of your insurance benefits, and ensuring a healthy start to the new year.

Maintaining Optimal Oral Health at the End of Year

Regular dental checkups, at least twice a year, are key to maintaining good oral health. These checkups allow your dentist to look for signs of oral disease, assess the risk of future problems, and offer advice on care. An end of year checkup ensures any dental issues are identified and addressed before they develop into more serious conditions.

Maximizing Insurance Benefits

As discussed in our previous post, most dental insurance plans are based on a calendar year and your benefits do not roll over. If you have not used up your benefits, scheduling an end of year dental checkup is a great way to make the most of your premiums.

Healthy Start to the New Year

A year-end checkup also sets you up for a healthy start to the new year. It's a good time to discuss any concerns or questions you might have with your dentist, and to plan any necessary treatments for the coming year.
