Patients Encouraged To Resume Dental Visits “Sooner Rather Than Later”

Fortune  (12/18, King) reported that “in March and April 2020, the use of dental services fell by 75% and 79% respectively, compared to the same months the year before, according to a Fair Health study , and most practices didn’t recover significantly until the following year.” Now, dentists are “seeing a surge of patients come back this fall and winter, especially as the deadline to use flexible spending account (FSA) money for 2021 is almost here.” So “if you’re looking to schedule an appointment, you should do so sooner rather than later,” the article said.
