Why is December the Perfect Month to Visit the Dentist?

Any month of the year is a good time to get a cleaning, but December in particular has its benefits. If you’ve been putting off that last twice-yearly dental check-up, now’s the time to make your appointment. If you already have one booked, congratulations. Keep it and make sure you don’t cancel.

This time of the year is hectic for so many people but scheduling an appointment before the New Year can help ensure your smile is ready for 2020. Here are the top three reasons December is the best time to visit the dentist.

1.   Cosmetic Dentistry for the Holiday Season

If you’ve been avoiding seeing your dentist because you are embarrassed of your smile, or if you have been meaning to get some cosmetic dentistry work done, December is the best time to inquire about cosmetic dentistry in Studio City. Your dentist is an experienced professional who deals with all types of smiles. You shouldn’t avoid getting the treatment you need just because you have anxiety about the dentist or aren’t sure what kind of work you want.

Talk with your dentist about his or her experience in treating patients who need treatment like yours. Your dentist should be friendly, open, and professional about restoring your smile and getting any cosmetic dentistry work done before the holidays, just in time for all those parties.

2.    Get Your Second Check-Up and Cleaning

Presumably, you’ve already had your first six-month checkup of the year in the spring or summer. Don’t forget about the second appointment! Since no two smiles are the same, your dentist may recommend that you come in more often than that, but for most people, twice-yearly is just fine.

During your checkup,  your dentist will check for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer and TMJ disorders. You’ll also get a professional teeth cleaning to remove surface stains and help your smile look its brightest for the holiday season.

3.    Start the New Year Right

Is improving your oral care high on your New Year’s resolutions list? Great! Stick to it by visiting your dentist so you can achieve your goals. You can boost your oral health routine at home with regular brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash. When you visit the dentist in December, you’re doing your part to start the New Year right when it comes to oral healthcare. Remember, nothing is more attractive than a healthy smile, so be sure to see your dentist before January to kick off a healthy New Year!
