Dedicate Yourself to Great Dental Health in 2011
With the new year upon us, New Year’s resolutions are on everyone’s minds. Unfortunately, it is more common for people to forget about their resolutions before the end of January, rather thank keep them for the entire year. I am Dr. Thomas Villani of Brighton Family Dental Group, and I have a challenge for you.
Be the exception to the New Year’s resolution trend. Set a goal and stick to it. It won’t be as hard as you think because my team and I are here to help.
I want to help you dedicate yourself to your dental health in 2011. This means different things for different people. If you can’t remember the last time you had a dental exam, it’s time to come in. I like to see my patients for a check-up every six months to make sure that everything is healthy and working properly. In addition to a dental cleaning, I will check for gum disease and scan for oral cancer at this check-up.
