As the year winds down and holiday plans fill up your calendar, it’s easy to push dental visits to "after the holidays." But here’s why December might actually be the best time to schedule your child’s checkup at Huntington Smiles.
1. Use Up Remaining Insurance Benefits
Many dental insurance plans reset in January. If you haven’t used your benefits for cleanings, fluoride, or sealants, December is your last chance before they expire.
2. School Breaks = More Flexibility
Winter break gives you more freedom to book appointments without worrying about early mornings or missed class time.
3. Catch Issues Before the New Year
A quick exam before the year ends means we can catch small issues (like cavities or early alignment concerns) before they become bigger in the new year.
4. A Clean Start for 2025
There’s something satisfying about sending your child into the new year with a fresh, healthy smile. It's one less thing to worry about in January.
5. Set a Healthy Tone During a Treat-Heavy Season
December brings lots of sugar. A cleaning helps remove buildup and reinforces good habits during the most cavity-prone time of year.
Whether you’re staying local or traveling this season, booking your child’s dental checkup in December is a simple way to finish the year strong. Call Huntington Smiles today to grab one of our final appointment spots of 2024!
