Finish the Year Right: What Our Dentist Recommends Before the Holidays

As the holidays approach, many people begin preparing for travel, family gatherings and end-of-year celebrations. But in the rush to finalise plans, dental care is often pushed aside. At By The Lake Dental, we encourage patients to prioritise their oral health before the holidays to avoid unexpected problems during the most festive time of the year.

Dental issues such as early cavities, gum inflammation, cracked fillings or sensitivity may not show obvious symptoms at first but they can escalate quickly. According to the Oral Health Foundation, many emergency appointments during the holiday period stem from problems that could have been addressed weeks earlier during a routine visit.

A pre-holiday dental check-up offers peace of mind. Our dentists and dental team can assess your overall oral health, perform cleanings, detect early signs of trouble, and help stabilise any areas of concern. For patients in orthodontic treatment, it is also a chance to ensure brackets, aligners or retainers are functioning properly before routines change.

Delaying your dental visit until January may mean waiting longer for care, especially after holiday closures. By planning ahead, you avoid scheduling stress and reduce the risk of discomfort disrupting your holidays.

Our dental clinic supports patients in creating healthy year-end habits. We understand that December can be busy but making time for your smile now means fewer worries later. Whether it is your regular hygiene or a dental visit before travel, we are here to help you finish the year strong.

At By The Lake Dental, we want you to enjoy the season with confidence and comfort. Our dental office in Ajax and Scarborough is ready to support your care before, during and after the holidays.
