The holidays are just a few weeks away, so there is still time to see our team. We would love to help you and your family undergo the care necessary to start the festivities with bright and healthy smiles! In today’s blog, your Londonderry, NH, dentist talks about improving smiles before the holidays arrive.
Schedule a Visit Now!
The holiday season is a time of joyful celebration with your friends and family. But this is also a time with lots of sugar and starch-heavy foods and drinks, so the risk of tooth decay and even gum disease in the months to come will increase. But you could see our team now for a visit, so we can examine your smile and if we find issues like tooth decay, offer solutions before your festivities begin. You can also protect your smile by limiting the sugar and starch on your plates, brushing and flossing as recommended even when you are out of town, and by adding fresh fruits and veggies to your plate, which help scrub away plaque and sugar particles. Be sure you drink water with your meal to help rinse away the sugars and starches!
Use Your Dental Benefits
You also have a chance to use your dental benefits before they expire at the end of the year. If you have dental insurance, then you have benefits that you can use during the year, but which will expire at midnight on December 31st. Likewise, if you have a health savings account, you have funds that could vanish without being used too. Don’t leave money on the table, talk to our team! Our office staff can help you understand what coverage is available and give an estimate on what could potentially be covered. We want to help you navigate this process and obtain a stronger and healthier smile before 2026 starts!
Improving Your Oral Health
In the new year, you can also make changes to better protect your smile. Avoid tobacco products and try to eat a healthier and more balanced diet. Cut back on the sugary treats! Make time to brush and floss daily too, so you can control your risk of cavities and gum disease, and be sure you see our team every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning visit.
If you have any questions about improving your oral health in 2026 and beyond, then reach out to our team. We can help each and every member of your family enjoy good oral health and smiles that shine!
