Is your tax refund on its way? Maybe it’s already hit your bank account. Either way, it’s exciting dreaming up all of the different ways you can spend this “bonus.” One of the best ways to invest it, however, is often overlooked: dental care. Here are three important reasons why you should use your tax refund to improve your oral health!
#1. Stop Decay and Infection in Its Tracks
Many patients assume that cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems will heal on their own. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. On the contrary, postponing treatment will allow the root of the problem to progress, damaging your teeth and gums in the process. If given the opportunity, your dentist can intervene in the early stages, preserving your oral health and saving you hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars on more extensive restorative and cosmetic care.
#2. Prevent New Oral Health Problems from Developing
Your biannual dental checkups and cleanings serve multiple purposes. In addition to catching tooth decay and cavities in the early stages, the cleaning portion of your visit is dedicated to removing stubborn tartar (something your toothbrush and floss can’t do). By gently scraping away this substance, your dental team can help prevent serious oral health problems down the line. Plus, they can provide you with specific recommendations on how to keep your teeth and gums in pristine condition between visits! So, if it’s been more than six months since your last visit to your dentist’s office, consider using your tax refund for an appointment.
#3. Make Your Dream Smile a Reality
Are your teeth discolored, misshapen, or misaligned? You can make dental imperfections like these a thing of the past thanks to cosmetic dentistry! During your consultation, you’ll have a chance to share your smile goals, review your treatment options, and learn more about the price. After solidifying the details of your treatment plan, you’ll be a big step closer to the smile of your dreams. Perhaps even better news, many smile-enhancing solutions – like veneers and teeth whitening – can be completed in as little as two visits!
Although it may not sound as glamorous as a vacation abroad, using your tax refund for your smile is one of the best choices for your wallet, your oral health, and your overall confidence. If you’re interested in learning more about the treatments available to you and the cost associated with them, then don’t hesitate to call your dental team!
