As the long days of summer start to wind down, you might be thinking about squeezing in one last beach trip or backyard barbecue. But here’s something else to consider: August is actually the perfect time to schedule those major dental procedures you’ve been putting off. Let’s dive into why this month is ideal for taking care of your oral health.
Beat the Back-to-School Rush
We all know how hectic life gets once school starts up again. Between new schedules, after-school activities, and homework, finding time for dental appointments becomes a real challenge. By scheduling your major dental work in August, you can avoid the September scramble and ensure your oral health is in top shape before the busy fall season kicks in.
Take Advantage of Remaining Insurance Benefits
If you’re like most people, you probably haven’t maxed out your dental insurance benefits for the year. August is a great time to check in on your coverage and make the most of any remaining benefits before they reset in January. Whether you need dental implants or other extensive procedures, using your benefits now can save you money in the long run.
Plenty of Time for Recovery
Major dental procedures like tooth extractions or implant surgeries often require some downtime for recovery. August offers a perfect window for this:
- Kids are still on summer break, making childcare easier
- Many workplaces are less busy, allowing for time off
- You can recover in the comfort of air conditioning during the hot summer days
By scheduling now, you give yourself ample time to heal before the fall rush begins.
Start the School Year with a Confident Smile
For students (or parents) heading back to school, there’s nothing like starting the year with a healthy, confident smile. Whether it’s fixing that troublesome tooth or finally getting those dental implants you’ve been considering, taking care of major dental work now means you or your child can walk into that first day of school feeling great.
Your Dentist Has More Availability
Let’s face it: dental offices tend to get swamped in September as everyone rushes to schedule appointments before the holiday season. By booking your procedure in August, you’re more likely to get the appointment times that work best for you. Plus, with a less hectic schedule, your dentist can dedicate more time and attention to your procedure.
