Why Now is the Perfect Time for Your Dental Check-Up

September 30, 2024

As we approach the end of the year, now is the perfect time to prioritize your dental health. At James R. Parkerson, III, DDS, we encourage all our patients to schedule their routine check-ups before the year’s end. Whether it’s been a while since your last visit or you’re new to our office, we’re here to ensure your smile stays healthy and beautiful.

Reasons to Schedule Your Check-Up Now

  1. Maximize Your Insurance Benefits: Many dental insurance plans operate on a calendar-year basis, meaning your benefits reset on January 1st. If you haven’t yet used your annual benefits, now is the time to schedule your visit. Routine exams and cleanings are typically covered, so there’s no reason to let your benefits go to waste. Booking your check-up before the year ends ensures you make the most of your insurance.

  2. Prevent Future Problems: Dental issues, such as cavities, gum disease, or oral infections, can escalate quickly if left untreated. Regular check-ups allow us to catch potential problems early and address them before they become more serious (and expensive) to treat. Preventative care is one of the best ways to maintain both your oral health and your overall well-being.

  3. Avoid Holiday Disruptions: The holiday season is fast approaching, and the last thing you want is a dental emergency to disrupt your celebrations. By visiting us now, we can make sure your teeth are in excellent condition so you can enjoy the holidays without discomfort or concern.

What to Expect at Your Check-Up

During your visit, we’ll perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, and take X-rays if necessary. Our team will provide personalized advice on how to care for your smile between visits, ensuring you leave with a comprehensive plan for your oral health.
