Start the Year with a Professional Dental Checkup One of the best ways to protect your smile is by scheduling a professional dental exam and cleaning early in the year. Regular checkups help: Detect cavities and gum issues early Prevent costly dental problems later Keep your teeth and gums healthy year-round If it’s been a while since your last visit, now is the perfect time to get back on track. 2. Make the Most of Your Dental Benefits Many dental insurance plans reset at the beginning of the year. That means unused benefits from last year are gone but fresh benefits are now available. ✔ Use preventive services like cleanings and exams✔ Plan needed treatments early✔ Avoid last-minute end-of-year stress Our team at SMYL Manatee is happy to help you understand and maximize your dental benefits. 3. Strengthen Your Daily Brushing and Flossing Habits Great oral health starts at home. This year, commit to better daily habits: Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste Floss once daily to remove plaque between teeth Replace your toothbrush every 3 months Small, consistent habits can make a big difference in preventing decay and gum disease. 4.
