3 Ways to Maximize Your Tax Refund

Man with attractive smileThe deadline to file 2021 tax returns is right around the corner, but many Americans’ refunds have already hit their bank accounts. If the extra cash is burning a hole in your pocket, resist the urge to blow it on a large purchase. Instead, invest in the benefits of a beautiful, healthy smile. Here are 3 ways to maximize your refund to save money down the road with a quick trip to your dentist in the Lehigh Valley. 

1. Schedule a Cleaning and Checkup

The American Dental Association recommends a cleaning and checkup to maintain your oral health. However, many people view preventive appointments as a luxury, not a necessity. Contrary to common belief, everyone should see their dentist every 6 months, even if they don’t have any current dental concerns. A routine cleaning and checkup can stop common oral health problems from occurring, like tooth decay and gum disease. 

Research has found every $1 spent on preventive dentistry can save up to $50 on restorative services. If you have dental insurance, preventive services are covered 100%, so you can achieve a healthy smile that can last. 

2. Address Untreated Dental Problems

It’s not uncommon for people to delay dental procedures until they have extra money or more time in their schedule. Unfortunately, ignoring even the smallest oral health concern can lead to a dental emergency. Although you may never expect to need an emergency dentist, 1 in 6 Americans is in the situation annually. 

There isn’t any better time than now to fix any untreated dental issues to prevent them from worsening. You can use your dental insurance to offset the amount you will pay out-of-pocket. Depending on your plan, your benefits can cover up to 80% of the cost after meeting your deductible. 

3. Give Your Confidence a Boost

An attractive smile is associated with confidence, youth, and success; however, few people have flawless teeth. If you are embarrassed by chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration, use your tax refund to achieve the smile of your dreams. 

After examining your mouth and learning more about your goals, your cosmetic dentist will create a personalized strategy to enhance your smile. They will explain all your options to craft the smile you desire without spending a fortune. 

Invest in Your Best Smile

You work hard all year, which means your oral health may get pushed aside. It’s never too late to make your smile a priority. Your dentist will help you use your tax refund wisely to get the healthy, stunning smile you desire. They’ll explain how to safeguard your investment, to enjoy the gift of confidence for many years ahead.
