Hello Friends!
Happy Spring!
Though it’s technically been spring for a month now, it’s starting to feel like it here in Michigan. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the temperature’s finally warming up. That’s a pretty big deal for Michiganders. The weather can be pretty fickle around these parts. That’s why we get so excited once the calendar flips to April and May. We can finally open the windows, get outside, and enjoy nature.
Many people get inspired to “spring clean” when the temperatures begin to climb, but I think it’s also a good time to take care of your health. Re-address your exercise goals. Make your annual physical and schedule any routine tests. Of course, as dental professionals we want to emphasize making your dental checkup appointment. We understand it’s easy to procrastinate or put it on the bottom of your priority list, but I’d argue that it’s a great time to visit your dentist. You want to get your smile in tip-top shape for the summer. There are so many things that your dentist can do to improve your oral health. Are you interested in whitening or cosmetic treatment? Your dentist will discuss your treatment options for optimizing your smile. Do you or your children play sports? A mouth guard is an important way to keep your teeth safe from trauma and a custom can be created in as little as two appointments. And of course, a cleaning and a thorough oral exam are always a good idea to check for cavities and to screen for oral cancers and periodontal disease.
Whether you’re a current patient on a regular 6-month rotation or haven’t been to a dentist in a long time, spring is a great time to visit your dentist to stay or get back on track. As always, if you have any questions or need more information, we are happy to help. Give us a call today!
Sincerely,
Your friends at
