Summer 2018 Newsletter

For years, dentists have been emphasizing the importance and effectiveness of routine dental visits, especially for the entire family. It’s the general rule of thumb that seeing your dentist every six months is more effective at reducing the risk of developing more serious dental issues later, rather than visiting only when an emergency arises. The only thing more inconvenient than scheduling preventive visits during the school year is scheduling restorative or emergency visits, which often require multiple appointments to address.

Furthermore, restorative and emergency visits are often more expensive than preventive care. In fact, every dollar spent on preventive care is worth dozens on more complex restorative and emergency care. Essentially, getting your family’s preventive visits out of the way before the school year is easier, more cost-efficient in the long-term, and more effective at preventing serious problems later.

As a family dentistry, Beck Dental Care of Columbia serves a wide range of patients that are young, old, and everything in between. That means we need to provide as many services as possible to meet the community’s needs, all in one practice. There a few things more frustrating than getting everyone scheduled and learning the service you need isn’t available.

Instead of sending you to another practice and making your schedule even more hectic, we offer multiple dentists with the expertise to perform treatments when you need them, including:

• Fluoride treatments
• Dental sealants
• Wisdom teeth removal
• Tooth-colored fillings
• Dental sedation
• and many more services!

How does a family expect to get their routine visits checked off their to-do list if the practice can’t schedule them? At Beck Dental Care of Columbia, we’re open five days a week and offer early morning and late evening hours to accommodate your busy back-to-school schedule. By offering these hours, we can even schedule blocks of time for multiple family members, allowing preventive and other necessary treatments to occur at the same time. This will save you travel time, gas money, and make scheduling visits easier to remember. This is particularly true when you schedule in the summer, which almost perfectly coincides with your child’s winter vacation, or six months from your last visit.

Scheduling your preventive visits in time for the school year doesn’t have to be a difficult process. There’s no need for visiting multiple dentists and traveling all over town when what you need is available at Beck Dental Care of Columbia. If your family, friends, or colleagues are looking for a practice that promises exceptional family dentistry, tell them to give us a call! We can’t wait to meet them and be their dedicated practice for all their dental needs.
