Summertime is finally in full swing, and you’ve probably got a lot of fun things planned for you and your loved ones this season. But whether you’re planning a trip to the beach, a vacation somewhere new, or simply hoping to spend your days lounging by the pool, one thing that you should include on your to-do list is visiting your dentist for a checkup and cleaning; after all, these visits can easily keep your summer from being a bummer! Here are three important reasons why.

Reason #1: Summertime Is Undeniably Convenient

You should be seeing your dentist every six months anyway for a checkup, but given that summertime falls right in the middle of the calendar year, it’s the perfect opportunity to schedule a visit if you or your loved ones haven’t seen their provider yet this year. Plus, these visits are typically covered by dental insurance! But better yet, summertime also provides a very flexible window of opportunity for these checkups, and if you have kids in school, you won’t have to worry about pulling them out of class—and their smiles will look great come autumn when school starts back up! Finally, it’s worth mentioning that summertime also allows plenty of time for your dentist to complete any lengthy or complex procedures that might take a while, like braces or clear aligners.

Reason #2: Your Smile Will Look & Feel Incredible

Preventive dental care is arguably the best way to ensure that your smile always looks and feels healthy—and going into the summer season, this is a pretty big deal. If you’re planning to travel and enjoy yourself, there will no doubt be plenty of photo opportunities that you should want your pearly whites to look stunning for. Not to mention, if there’s something about your smile that you’re unhappy about, your dentist can offer possible solutions for remedying the issue and restoring your confidence!

Reason #3: Added Protection from Potential Dental Emergencies

Did you know that a healthy smile is far less likely to experience a dental emergency? Visiting your dentist before your summertime adventures can ensure that your teeth, gums, and other oral structures are all problem-free—which will let you fully enjoy yourself without fear of a dental issue turning severe and derailing your fun. Plus, if you were to sustain an injury, you’ll already have a trustworthy dentist you can contact for assistance!

Summertime is meant to be enjoyed, but you won’t be able to make the most of your season if you’re worried about or suffering from some type of dental issue. That said, scheduling a preventive checkup beforehand is perhaps the ultimate way to protect your smile, and by proxy, your summer fun!
