Happy New Year from the team at Dulac Dental: We hope you had a nice holiday and were able to relax and spend time with family. I wanted to provide some updates as we go into the first quarter of 2023. 2023 Q1 Schedule: Open: Martin Luther King Jr Day on January 16 and Presidents Day on February 20 Dr Dulac out: Thursday February 16 and Thursday March 16 (continuing education) Closed: Spring Break April 3-7 (Fairfax and Loudoun County School Spring Breaks)
As I write this in late October, we’re closing in on 2 months from the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023. I wanted to reach out with some office and end-of-year updates. This tends to be our busiest time of year. Many of our patients with unused insurance benefits want to get scheduled. If you have treatment needs, and a January insurance rollover, I encourage you to schedule as soon as possible.
Root Canal: Explained A root canal is a quick, painless, effective and predictable procedure to remove the infected or inflamed nerve from a tooth. Root canals get a bad reputation from years ago when the procedure took much longer and because dentists might have worked on patients when they weren't completely numb. Probably not the best experience for a patient.
If you have crooked or gapped teeth, you may find it difficult to smile and project confidence in social and work situations. However, an imperfect smile is more than just a cosmetic or social concern. When your teeth don’t fit well together, this can lead to the improper chewing and biting of food, which can cause eventual damage to the enamel of your teeth ,and compromise your dental health.
