The holidays are usually the busiest time of the year, making it easy to forget to schedule appointments and prioritize your health. While it may be tempting to wait until the new year to schedule your next dental cleaning, getting it before the year’s over allows you to maximize your insurance benefits, set your smile goals, prevent future issues, and start the new off with a healthy smile, setting the tone for optimal oral health all year long.

At Advanced Smile Care, we know how important regular dental cleanings are for maintaining strong teeth and gums while preventing issues like cavities and gum disease. Our caring team combines gentle care with cutting-edge technology to give you the high-quality service and confident smile you deserve. With nearly 40 years of experience in San Antonio, we’re here to ensure your smile is ready to shine as you step into the year ahead.

Why See Your Dentist for a Cleaning Before the New Year?

As the new year approaches, you may think about your personal goals. Getting a dental cleaning before the new year can set you up for success and optimal oral health in the following ways:

Maximize Your Insurance Benefits

With insurance benefits running out at the end of the year, if you don’t use them, you lose them. To maximize your benefits before they restart in the new year, schedule an appointment for a cleaning. This allows you to take advantage of your benefits and identify any potential oral health concerns that need urgent treatment or can wait until next year. Because most benefits do not roll over, using what you have left before the end of the year can help you save money on dental expenses in the new year.

Limited Availability

With many patients wanting to take advantage of their benefits before the year ends, scheduling is often limited during this time. If you have a busy schedule, it may be challenging to get your ideal appointment this time of year, but with holidays and extra time off work or school, it may be easier to squeeze in that last-minute cleaning. The earlier you contact us, the more likely you will be able to get your cleaning before the new year.

Start the Year With a Healthy Smile

The holidays and New Year’s Eve is a fun, exciting time of the year often spent with family and friends. Scheduling a dental cleaning before these festivities allows you to start the year with a healthy, strong smile you are proud to show off in social settings and photos. 

Set Smile Goals

Getting a dental cleaning before the new year allows you to understand what’s going on inside your mouth and set goals for yourself for the next 12 months. Maybe you need to be more consistent with flossing, or you want to start an orthodontic treatment to straighten your smile. At Advanced Smile Care, we can set you up for success so you can achieve your smile goals in the new year.

Prevent Future Issues

Regular dental cleanings are essential for identifying early signs of issues like cavities and gum disease. Instead of putting off addressing these issues until next year, schedule your cleaning now to avoid these concerns worsening and requiring more expensive treatment. Early intervention prevents future dental problems and reduces the cost of your dental care.
