You may not have known, but Tax Day – April 15th – is only a month away. There’s only so much time left to file your return and get a refund. With that said, you should consider using that future windfall on your smile. Many good reasons exist to invest a tax refund in oral health, a key part of your life. Learn about four big ones in this primer from your local Costa Mesa dentist.
You’ll Make Your Grin Gorgeous & Strong
Investing your tax refund in dental work would enhance your smile. In particular, it’d let you enjoy the social perks of a gorgeous and strong grin.
Note that dirty and unhealthy smiles aren’t appealing. When you show off your weak teeth and gums to others, you’re leaving a negative impression in their minds. This process can lead to self-esteem issues, frayed relationships, and worse. Thankfully, money spent on dental work would avoid (and stop) that issue; a dentist’s treatments can easily make your mouth vibrant and eye-pleasing.
You’ll Keep Your Entire Body Safe
At the same time, a tax refund spent on dentistry won’t just help your mouth. The preventive care it provides would also protect your entire body.
Many oral issues can prove life-threatening if left untreated. For example, gum disease is known to double or even triple one’s risk of heart attacks and strokes. Bacteria from a dental abscess can also trigger sepsis once it spreads far enough. All in all, these facts show that paying for preventive dental care could very well save your life.
You’ll Avoid Needless Pain
You probably don’t want to feel oral aches and pains. Luckily, a tax refund spent on dental work would let you avoid them.
It’s a simple fact that an unhealthy mouth tends to hurt a lot. When someone suffers from cavities and gum disease, they often experience toothaches, sensitive teeth, sore gums, and worse. Treating such conditions (and their symptoms) can also be unpleasant in itself. Thankfully, good dental care would keep those problems from popping up in the first place.
You’ll Save More of Your Money
If you fund your dental care with a tax refund, you’ll make a sound investment. In fact, you’ll likely save more money than you would otherwise.
Preventive dentistry happens to be the least costly kind. Since most dental plans fully cover twice-yearly checkups and cleanings, those visits are usually quite affordable. (Moreso when dentists have special offers like free exams and consultations.) Meanwhile, restorative procedures – dental fillings, crowns, root canals, etc. – tend to be much pricier; they aren’t fully covered by insurance. That means a tax refund spent on preventive care spares you from costly restoration work.
