It seems like most everyone looks forward to summer – even here in Tampa, where the temperatures are almost always warm. Summer is fun because the pace tends to be less hectic and there are so many opportunities to play, since the days last a little longer. Here in our Tampa dentist office, we tell our patients that summer is also great time to take care of scheduling your dental appointments!
While we don’t believe there is ever a bad time to see the dentist, we do feel that June, July, and August are the best months in which to schedule appointments. Here are three reasons why summer is a great time of year for visiting the dentist:
1. Summer schedules are more flexible for check-ups.
In the fall, winter, and spring, it can be nearly impossible to schedule dental appointments without missing school! Summer is a great time to get those check-ups in. Kids and parents tend to be more relaxed, so that also helps make dental appointments a less stressful experience. Be sure to get dental sealants done before diving into summer treats at the concession stand!
2. Pearly white teeth look great with a summer glow.
Most people love to try a new look for summer with everything from bright outfits to lighter hair color to spray tans! One look that goes with any style is a bright, white smile. Keep your teeth looking great by taking some time for a dental check-up. Maybe try the teeth whitening procedure you’ve been considering!
3. Summer is the ideal time to take care services you’ve neglected.
If you’ve been putting off a check-up or dental procedures, why not get that taken care of now? Things tend to slow down in the summer, so it is usually easier to get an appointment. Getting dental checks done and off of your to-do-list will only help you relax this summer. Plus, if you have to leave the office early for an appointment, why not do it on a summer day? (If your boss asks, we did not say that.)
