Now that the year has come to an end it is time to think about what is most important in life. Many people use the New Year as a stepping stone to reflect back on what has happened and in 2021 this is certainly a time to do so. We saw civil unrest, a pandemic, and a vast majority of people losing jobs for all of these things. But what we also saw was that family and friends still found time to be together at the end of the year and that in some instances that actually was fantastic but still had poor effects on our own health. What am I really trying to get at here you might ask? Well, the fact is that our teeth are very vulnerable during this time of year and that is simply because we are putting our teeth through the things that hurt them the most. So I wanted to talk about the holidays and also go over some ways to overcome the problems and protect those pearly white teeth.
So what can we do in the times of the Holidays and directly after in order to think about protection? Well, see the thing is I can give all the advice in the world but you may be in a specific situation that needs attention. The fact is that most of us are all different in just about every way. This means that we all have individual needs and probably should have a specific professional diagnosis of our current status. You know what I am getting at. The fact is we all need to see a dentist to see where we are at, and that especially goes if you have not seen one in six months. The vast majority of Americans see a dentist only when needed and can go 5 to 10 years without seeing one. That is a long time and can have some pretty bad impacts on your health.
So, what you need to do is sit down and pull out your internet-connected device and find a great dentist. If you have insurance then find one under your plan that is close and get the best-rated one for you and or your family. This may be a big difference because some dentists that are great with adults are not good with children and part of that is their staff as well. So make sure you are going to a dentist that is well rated for what you need because part of the experience matters. Now that you have found one it’s time to schedule up a time.
With technology these days and the sales systems in place by dentists and yes they certainly have them it is pretty easy to set up an appointment. Most can be done online with automated scheduling. But be warned if you put your phone number in you will probably get a call and multiple texts about your appointment. For the most part, I think this is actually good, but the issue is if you no longer want to go you will probably be hounded by their staff. So, only set up an appointment if you really mean it or it will feel like you are being spammed. Now go get the best plan for your teeth and be safe!
