Whether you’re a kid or an adult, your summer vacation is well-deserved. Life has been nonstop since last fall. If you want to start the next round with some energy, you’ll need that rest and relaxation. You might already be postponing tasks and mentally shoving them into the “save for fall” box.
But that’s why you should visit your dentist now, before you get pulled in by the summertime lazy river. If you’re already in the vacation headspace and are reading this from a hammock, don’t doze off until you find out why. You’ll thank us later.
Fill in The Openings in Your Schedule with Some Dental Care
Kids are out of school, structured activities slow down, clients are on vacation – summer is an almost universal time to take a deep breath and relax. Your calendar is probably as lax as it’s going to get for the year. It’s a good idea to fill some free time with a dental checkup. Otherwise you might find yourself breaking out the colored pens and scrambling to find an autumn day that isn’t either booked or a holiday.
Protect Your Teeth from Sugary Summertime S’mores
Even the most disciplined dieticians can’t resist one s’more. After all, when else are you going to eat them? But as we all know, s’mores and other sugary treats can cause cavities and lead to dental emergencies. Your dentist can clean off plaque-causing bacteria that might be leftover from winter and give your teeth some added protection with a fluoride treatment.
Stop Dental Emergencies with Preventative Dentistry
Nothing harshes the vibe like a dental emergency. One second you’re thinking about Floridian coconuts and maritime cruises. And the next second you’re panicking because your partner has a s’more induced toothache. Before you settle into summer, have your dentist check on your oral health and scrub the harmful bacteria off your pearly whites. Blocking off an hour of time now could spare your peaceful siesta.
When it comes to your oral health, it’s better to get it taken care of sooner rather than later. As much as you might want to avoid tedious chores, that rule still applies to summer vacation. Lining up your dental appointments before the festivities take off is the best way to avoid dental disasters. At the end of your visit, you can even get the next appointment in the books so you don’t have to think about it until fall. You’ll already have one to-do item check off your list when school starts back up!
