Are you due for a dental appointment? If so, now is the perfect time to schedule one. The new year is a great time to take care of your oral health, and there are several reasons why visiting the dentist at the beginning of the year is a good idea. In this blog post, we'll go over five reasons why the new year is the perfect time to visit your dentist. Whether you want to start the year off on the right foot, keep your resolutions, take advantage of insurance coverage, get ahead of any potential problems, or just make it a habit, a trip to the dentist can help you maintain good oral health and set you up for success in the year ahead.

From a young age we are constantly informed about how important it is to have excellent oral hygiene, to keep our mouths and teeth healthy. However, even with the best care, losing teeth due to old age, dental disease, or accidents is common. When this happens, making use of dentures is the popular option. These can be either partial, to fill in the gaps caused by missing teeth or, if all your teeth had to be removed, a full set to allow you to eat, drink, smile and converse freely with confidence. There is a common misconception that because dentures are artificial they are simply "fit and forget" cosmetic enhancements. This is not true. To be able to derive the maximum benefits from your dentures, you need to understand how to care for them.
