How to Make Your Oral Health a Priority in 2025

With January about to begin, it’s time to start making those new year’s resolutions. If you’re looking for an easy way to get healthier in 2025, why not put your oral health at the top of the list? Here’s how planning your biannual exam and cleaning appointments now can help prevent dental disaster and improve the condition of your teeth and gums in the new year!

Make the Most of Your Money

Even if you don’t pay close attention to how much money you’re spending on dental insurance each month doesn’t mean it’s not expensive.  Don’t throw away your hard-earned money. Make the most of your dental benefits in 2025 by scheduling your biannual exam and cleaning appointments now. Getting these important checkups on the books will help ensure you get the most of your benefits, and it will protect that gorgeous smile, too!

Oral Cancer Prevention

Did you know that your dentist provides valuable oral cancer screenings during your biannual exam and cleaning appointments? According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, approximately 11,000 Americans will die this year of oral cancer, but with early detection, this devastating disease can be very curable. Thus, seeing your dentist regularly can literally save your life!

Red Gum Red Flags

Gum disease doesn’t just cause red, inflamed gums, it can also lead to tooth loss and jawbone deterioration.  Unfortunately, it can sometimes be difficult to diagnose on your own, which is why it’s so important to see your dentist regularly. Your biannual exam and cleaning appointments can alert your dentist to changes in your gums that could indicate gum disease, so you can get the treatment you need before it becomes a bigger problem.

Cavity Care

Your biannual exam and cleaning can alert your dentist to areas on your teeth that could become cavities if you’re not careful, but regularly monitoring the health of your teeth can help prevent them from forming. Thus, it is important to attend those biannual exam and cleaning appointments, as the earlier your dentist spots a problem, the higher the probability that you can reverse it.

Smile Suggestions

While it’s always preferable to love your smile, if there’s anything you’d like to change about it, your dentist can offer suggestions for how best to help. Whether it’s veneers, cosmetic bonding, professional whitening, or another life-changing treatment, they can give insightful advice about how to achieve your smile goals in the new year!

Remember, if you want to improve how you look and feel in 2025, your oral health is a great place to start. Book your biannual exam and cleaning appointments today and make this year the best year ever!
