Skipping dental and vision check-ups may seem inconsequential but doing so can harm your health!
Making regular visits to your dentist or optometrist is important! Regular preventive visits help keep you on top of any issues with your oral and vision health. Did you know that, in addition to checking on your teeth and eyes, dentists and optometrists can spot the symptoms of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease through regular exams?
Top reasons to schedule dental and vision check-ups
Still not convinced? Here are five reasons to schedule dental and vision appointments today:
Avoid dental and vision emergencies
Maintaining regular check-ups with your dentist and optometrist may help you avoid emergency dental or vision issues. Avoid trips to the emergency room for things such as an infection from a broken tooth or sudden vision problems by seeing your dental and vision health professionals.
Schedule appointments to help you get in a routine
Once you start booking appointments, it will be easier to get into a routine to continue to do so. If you don’t have any appointments scheduled as of now, look at your calendar and schedule all your required preventive care appointments right away. In addition to dental and vision appointments, maybe it’s time for your annual physical or other specialty appointments. Scheduling appointments early in the year will help you finish 2023 knowing you’re on track for all your preventive appointments.
Reduce the risk of developing cancer
Regular dental and vision check-ups can help reduce your risk of developing cancer, such as oral or eye cancer. Your dentist and optometrist can spot early signs of the diseases during preventive exams. In many cases, cancer that’s caught early has a better chance of being successfully treated.
Regular dental and vision check-ups save money
Going to regular preventive dental and vision check-ups can help you keep more money in your wallet because your dentist or optometrist will be able to diagnose and treat any dental or vision problems before they become a costly issue. In many cases, these preventive check-ups are covered if you have dental insurance or vision insurance.
Check-ups give you peace of mind
As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and this is especially true when it comes to dental and vision health. Attending regular check-ups with your dentist and optometrist can give you the peace of mind that your oral and eye health are being monitored and any serious problems will likely be caught early.
