A lot has to happen before the holidays arrive. Everyone’s list is different, of course, but with Thanksgiving around the corner, and then Christmas and New Year’s after that, they can also look very similar. There are gifts to buy, foods to prepare, travel plans to make, and much more. All of which means that a last-minute dental checkup and cleaning can easily fall by the wayside.
That’s why we want to encourage you to squeeze in one last visit to our Massapequa dental office before the year is over.
