There are so many reasons to be thankful this holiday season. Whether it’s your family, your friends, or even your oral health, we all have much to celebrate. But what about your dentist? After all, she’s always there to help keep your teeth healthy and strong. Here are a few great reasons to give thanks to your favorite tooth doctor this year!
They Help Prevent Disease
Your dentist places a big focus on preventive care, including diseases like oral cancer and gum disease. That’s why when you attend your semi-annual cleaning and exam, you’re screened for both automatically, and if you have any warning signs, you’ll be instructed on how to reverse or treat them.
They Make You Feel Good About Yourself
Not only does your dentist make sure your teeth are healthy, but they also help them look their best, too, and a beautiful, glowing smile can really boost your self-esteem. This can in turn benefit you in myriad ways, including giving you the confidence you need to ace that job interview or make an excellent impression on that first date.
They Get to Know You
You know how when you visit your dentist, she and the staff remember your name and take the extra step to make sure you’re comfortable? That’s not a coincidence. Your dental team truly cares about each of their patients, and they go out of their way to make sure every person who walks through their door feels like more than just a number.
They Care About Your Mental Health
Your dentist knows that you may be nervous or anxious about your treatment, which is why they offer sedation dentistry options. Sedation isn’t just for painful or lengthy procedures, either. In fact, even adults and children who are afraid of dental cleanings can benefit from nitrous oxide or another method of sedation.
They Keep You Out of Pain
Finally, your dentist not only helps you prevent oral health problems, but they also can fix them, too. Whether you have a cavity, a tooth infection, gum disease, or impacted wisdom teeth, they can help correct many dental issues that could be causing you undue pain and sensitivity so you can feel like yourself again!
Remember, this Thanksgiving, don’t forget to be grateful for your oral health, and for the dentist and dental team that help make it possible all year long!
