Father’s Day is this weekend and many of us are thinking of ways to honor the Father’s in our lives.
How can we do this through our dental office in Mclean? Read on and share it with the man in your life. He may be curious about a specific procedure, or need a nudge to get back on a regular maintenance schedule.
In general, we have noticed that men are becoming more aware of the effects their appearance have on their daily interactions–be they personal or professional. Many of our patients that have what were previously considered “cosmetic” procedures, such as whitening, veneers, adult orthodontics etc., are, in fact, men.
Not long ago, most men worked for one or two employers throughout a lifetime and many did not think about the way their overall appearance affected their professional life. That’s not the reality today, with lay-offs and company closings across the board. Today middle-aged men are competing for jobs with younger men, making appearance a heightened factor in their lives.
Taking a back seat to new cosmetic concerns for men is the increased awareness of the overall health benefits of seeing a dentist biannually. Every day, we are seeing in the news that there is a definite oral-systemic connection, and we are offering cutting edge tests through our office, to make sure you are healthy in general, not just orally.
Bottom line, we want men to visit the dentist because they’re concerned about their health, however we are happy to see them for whatever reason they felt was important enough to schedule an appointment. Many times after men come back to the dentist they realize that proper maintenance and biannual checkups are the key to improving the way one looks and feels.
