Why You Should Spend Your Tax Refund on Your Smile

You sit back in your chair with a grin on your face—you’ve just finished filing your taxes and you’re getting a large refund! There are probably several different things you want to spend that cash on—a vacation to the beach, a down payment on a new car, or paying off a looming credit card bill. But have you considered investing that money in your oral health? There are many benefits to spending some money on your smile this tax season. Keep reading to learn more.

The Value of Good Oral Health

There’s a reason why your dentist constantly reminds you to brush your teeth—good oral hygiene matters! Taking care of your mouth and keeping it clean helps to prevent many different problems from developing, including tooth decay, gum disease, and chronic pain that will linger and wear you down over time.

Serious problems can develop from these minor issues if they remain untreated; oral cancer, diabetes, and even heart disease all pose a potential threat towards an unhealthy mouth! To avoid all these long- and short-term problems, it’s imperative that you evaluate the status of your mouth. Think about why it might be worth the money!

Cost is a large factor for many when it comes to seeking treatment; sometimes a trip to the dentist isn’t cheap and that easily deters people. However, think about it in terms of a long-term investment—by investing a little money in your mouth early on for something like a checkup, screening, or teeth cleaning, you’re helping to prevent a severe and expensive problem from developing in the future. Dentists and insurance plans also offer flexibility when it comes to paying for certain treatments.

Transforming Your Tax Refund into A Healthy, Beautiful Smile

There are plenty of ways to commit your tax refund towards your oral health. Some possible treatments include:

• Regular dental checkups, screenings, and teeth cleanings
• Dental crowns and tooth-colored fillings
• Dental implants, bridges, and dentures
• Veneers, direct bonding, and orthodontics like Invisalign
• Teeth whitening

There are many options that can improve the look, feel, and functionality of your smile, as well as many preventive treatments that can help to prevent nasty problems from developing. Simply visit your dentist to discuss your individual needs.

This year, consider spending your tax refund on your oral health—your teeth might not be as exciting as any sand-swept beaches or a fancy new car, but having a healthy mouth can easily save you a lot of trouble down the road.
