The New Year is here and now is a great time to address what are the best practices when it comes to your oral health. So as many of us are looking to start the year off to a healthy start, what are some concrete things we can do to include a healthy smile as part of your New Year goals. One of the first things to keep in mind is that most dental insurance will begin again at the beginning of the year. Make sure you are familiar with your plan and understand what your coverage actually consists of. Most plans offer two cleanings a year. The beginning of the year is when most people schedule their first cleaning coming off of the holidays. This is also a good time to have a general oral check up and to see where your oral health is at.

If you haven’t already, the beginning of the year is s good time to start incorporating healthy dental practices.  We’ve all been told that one of the most important things we can do to prevent tooth decay is to floss and brush consistently. If you are not doing so currently, you should start. Flossing removes the bacteria that leads to tartar build up and gets in between those teeth that brushing misses.

The Holidays are always a time to reflect on the year and to think about all of the moments we have shared together. At Lobo DDS, we are especially grateful to our patients, loved ones and the Torrance community for making us their choice for high-quality dental care. During this time we spend so much time juggling all the expectations that the Holidays bring. We are rushing in and out of stores after work trying to find those special items on our lists for those special people in our lives. While we always strive for the highest value, this Christmas we would like to offer you our sincerest wishes for a very “Merry Christmas” and “Happy Holidays”. It is our wish that this year you experience the Magic of the Season replete with an abundance of smiles, hugs, laughs and the kindest signs of appreciation from your loved ones.

From Lobo DDS, let us extend to you our sincerest appreciation for choosing us to be your dental practice, but more importantly for allowing us to be part of your community and family. Whether it’s for a routine cleaning or a root canal,  we value the time we get to spend together throughout the year and look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for your trust in us and from our family to yours, Merry Christmas from Lobo DDS.
