If you’re like most people, your schedule probably fills up quickly at the start of the new year. You may even begin putting plans in the books toward the end of the current year. While you’re doing this, consider adding a visit to your dentist to the top of the list. Your Jupiter dentist shares how scheduling a dental checkup as early in the year as possible can save you time and money.
Why an Early Trip to the Dentist is a Great Idea
Preventive dental care is one of the best things you can do for your overall oral health, so it just makes sense to see you dentist early on in order to set yourself up for success for the remainder of the year. Here are a few reasons why it’s a great idea for you and your wallet:
There Will Be More Appointment Options
Just like you own personal agenda, your dentist’s calendar fills up quickly as well. Make your life easier by scheduling your first yearly checkup early on so that you can select the day and time that work best with your busy schedule.
You Can Maximize Your Dental Insurance Benefits
Like most dental insurance plans, yours probably involves a deductible that has to be met before the insurance company will begin to cover treatment costs. This is especially helpful for multiple family members under one plan. Seeing the dentist early in the year will help you meet that amount quicker, allowing you the peace of mind to know that any unexpected visits later in the year will be covered.
Potential Issues Can Be Detected Early On
Every time you visit your dentist for a regular checkup, on top of taking x-rays to check for infection or gum disease, your dentist looks for signs of oral cancer in your mouth and throat? Because of early detection, the survival rate for this illness has gone way up. The sooner that your dentist can identify potential issues, the more successful and less expensive treatment will be.
As your considering resolutions for the new year, make sure to prioritize your oral health by scheduling a dental checkup as early as possible.
