Perhaps you are doing your taxes, writing thank-you notes after your December celebrations, and working to achieve your resolutions for the new year. But there is one thing that you might be forgetting \u2014 a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sounddentist.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">dental checkup<\/a>. Here are a few reasons why you should schedule this important appointment early in the year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Have Fresh Dental Insurance Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most PPO dental insurance policies reset at the beginning of each calendar year. In 2024, your plan may allow you to attend two cleanings and checkups for nothing out of pocket. If you schedule your first preventive appointment for early in the year, you will have plenty of time left to attend your second one before your benefits expire at the end of December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Might Meet Your Deductible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dental policy probably also has a deductible, which is a small amount of money that you have to pay before your benefits kick in. Often, the deductible is waived for preventive services, such as checkups and cleanings. However, if your exam reveals a small issue, you can receive prompt treatment, meet your deductible, and be able to take full advantage of your benefits for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Healthy Smile Could Help You Reach Your Goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you want to accomplish in 2024? Whether you plan to lose a few pounds, take a dream vacation, or move forward in your career, the last thing you need is a dental problem to derail your intentions. A healthy mouth is a big part of a healthy body, and a thorough dental checkup might just help you stay in good shape from head to toe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oral Cancer Screenings Are Important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year, tens of thousands of people are diagnosed with oral cancer. Many of them go on to conquer the disease and live for decades longer. That outcome is most likely when the condition is caught early on. Experts recommend that all adults get screened for oral cancer once every year. Screenings are a standard part of dental checkups \u2014 it is a quick and easy process that might just save your life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Dental Cleaning Can Help You Feel Great<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to a checkup, a preventive dental appointment also usually includes a thorough cleaning. This can get rid of plaque and tartar that have accumulated on your teeth, leaving you with a fresh and confident smile that is at a lower risk of decay and gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental checkup early in the year could help your 2024 to be a success! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sounddentist.com\/request-an-appointment.html\">Book an appointment<\/a> as soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meet the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sound Dentistry is home to two highly trained specialists and an accomplished general dentist.
