2026 is already here, and there is so much to look forward to! Whether you are committed to cooking at home more, making time for exercise, or trying out new hobbies, you are working to become the best version of yourself! Another thing to include this year is your regular dental visits. It is beneficial to start out early in the year. Continue reading to learn a few reasons why.
Maximize Your Insurance Benefits
If you have a dental insurance plan through work or a private plan, your benefits will likely rest at the beginning of the calendar year. Now that the year has started, you are responsible for paying your deductible again. However, once you meet this amount, you don’t need to worry about paying it again till next year. If you have multiple dependents on your dental insurance plan, paying your deductible early in the year can help to avoid stress and surprises later on.
Prevent Future Dental Issues
To promote excellent oral health for the rest of the year, seeing your dentist is key. If they see signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or another issue, you can have this treated before the new year surprises you with everything it has in store. This will also help to prevent smaller issues from progressing into serious problems that require costly, invasive treatments. There isn’t a good reason to start the new year with good oral health.
Additional Appointment Available
Have you started filling out your planner for 2026 year? It will be filling itself up before you know it. The same goes for your dentist’s calendar. When you call your dentist early in the year, there will be more options when it comes to the days and times of appointments available for you and your family. You don’t want to end up putting off your visit since you couldn’t set a convenient time. Try to schedule your appointment as soon as you can to ensure that it fits well into your busy schedule.
To set yourself up for everything the year has in store, give your dentist a call to schedule your next cleaning and checkup. This way, you can prepare your smile for success in 2026!
