Why You Should Kick Off Your Summer with a Dental Appointment

Summer is almost here; the weather is warming up, the days are becoming longer, and you’re probably starting to put together a schedule filled with plenty of fun activities for the upcoming next few months. But no matter what you’re planning, something you should consider adding to your to-do list is visiting your dentist for a routine checkup! Although it might not sound as exciting as hitting the road or soaking up some sun at the beach, there are numerous benefits to seeing your dentist beforehand. Keep reading to learn more!

There’s No Shortage of Time During the Summer

Many of us enjoy a little extra downtime during the summer, whether it’s a break from school, time off from work, or even just kicking back and relaxing during the evenings. Since you should be visiting your dentist twice a year anyway for preventive care, it makes a lot of sense to schedule one of your visits for these slower, less-busy summer months. This also gives your dentist a generous window to start (and finish) any necessary or lengthy procedures, and if you have children in school, you won’t have to worry about their attendance!

You’ll Look Great in Pictures

There’s no shortage of events and fun activities to attend during summer; graduation season occupies May through June, July has plenty of festivities celebrating the Fourth, and August is usually perfectly hot enough for daily poolside shenanigans and backyard cookouts. This also means that all summer long, there are plenty of photo opportunities—and given that your smile is the first feature that people will notice about you, you should want your pearly whites to look their best every time someone pulls out a camera. By visiting your dentist early on in the summer, you’re setting yourself up for lasting oral health and beauty; they’ll be able to thoroughly clean your mouth and ensure it’s free of issues, and even touch up your smile with cosmetic dentistry if you desire!

Dental Emergencies Can Derail Your Summer Fun

Dental emergencies have a knack for occurring when we least expect them—and often, they happen when it’s incredibly inconvenient! And there’s no doubt that sustaining any type of emergency can put a damper on your summertime fun and possibly even derail your plans! But by visiting your dentist beforehand, you’re ensuring that your teeth and gums are as healthy as possible and very unlikely to encounter any issues. While this doesn’t entirely protect you from an emergency, as that simply isn’t feasible, it does at least give you the peace of mind to enjoy yourself without worrying about your pearly whites!
