Not Home For The Holidays? Consider Smile Suggestions! 

When you’re not planning on being home for the holidays but you are, instead, heading out on an adventure that brings you to far off lands, to a relative’s home, etc., it’s important to keep something in mind: When oral surgery is also on your agenda for this merry season, you may wish to take a closer look at some aspects of your calendar and your plans just to be on the safe side. Not sure what we’re talking about but you’d prefer to be completely ready? Our Santa Rosa, CA team can definitely help with that!

Be Mindful Of Scheduling

Were you planning on scheduling your dental implant placement right before hopping on a plane to head across the country for your winter holiday festivities? We remind you to be quite mindful about ensuring you’re scheduling out serious oral surgery plans for yourself with your overall schedule in mind. Remember that you will require recovery and healing time! While winter break may be a fantastic opportunity for everything from implants to wisdom teeth removal, it’s a good idea to take a detailed look at your calendar and to discuss details with our team first before setting a date if travel or other plans are also already booked or in your future!

Consider Your Footwear

Have you been scurrying to and fro in our community in a pair of boots that you consider to be “cold weather friendly” but you’re planning a trip back East for the holidays? When you’re heading into a very different climate, remember that you may need to make a change (and possibly even bring along some much more serious footwear, so the threat of slipping, sliding, and ending up with an oral health injury is not something you need to concern yourself with)! With that said, remember to simply always practice caution, so you’re not headed back from what should be a fun time in need of oral surgery!

Don’t Get Too Swept Away

The holidays are a very fun time and you may find that you begin to shed your usual worries, as you let loose and enjoy yourself! Enjoyment is always a good thing. However, while it may sound like more fun to just forget about your teeth, dental work, and anything related to your oral health for your holiday vacation, we suggest staying the course. Keep your smile clean, avoid foods and choices that might damage any oral surgery work you have already had completed, and you’ll be happy to enter the new year having made sound choices!
