Tax season is coming to a close, which means that tax returns will be coming in the mail any moment. If you’re trying to figure out how best to spend it, you may want to consider reinvesting it in your oral health.
As it turns out, there are quite a few ways that you can do that. Here are some dental services that your tax refund can get you.
A Good Ol’ Checkup
It’s recommended that people see the dentist twice a year, but lots of people come in for checkups much less often than that. Many people worry that what starts out as a routine checkup will uncover something that they need to pay for, and aren’t normally prepared to do that.
By having your tax refund in your back pocket, you can go into a checkup much more confident than you could otherwise.
Fillings and Crowns
Have you been ignoring a throbbing pain in your tooth for longer than you’d care to admit? You can use your tax return to finally handle stubborn cavities with a simple filling.
While you may not realize it, tooth decay will only get worse with time if you don’t do anything about it. By being proactive and dealing with the issue, not only will you deal with your discomfort, but you can also save yourself a lot of grief later on down the line.
Brighten your Smile
Even if you don’t have any ongoing oral health problems, there are things that you can do to make your smile look its best. Teeth whitening is a great example—within a single appointment, your dentist can use a bleaching solution to give you a smile up to eight shades whiter than it was before.
These kinds of cosmetic treatments aren’t ordinarily covered by insurance, which means that having some extra money in your pocket can help you afford beautifying procedures that may ordinarily be out of reach.
Of course, this is just a short list of things your tax refund can do for your oral health. Dentistry is remarkably powerful, so keep this in mind and you’ll be able to get your smile into shape!
