We offer a $99 New Patient Special!
Includes exam, cleaning & x-rays (an exceptional value)
We all know the importance of brushing and flossing to protect and strengthen our mouths. However, even the best at-home hygiene habits cannot replace a visit to the dentist twice a year. This is exactly why the American Dental Association (ADA) recognizes dental appointments as a core necessity for strong oral health.
Our Bronx, NY dental office gives patients the tools they need to maintain their dental health through regular six month appointments. We take great pride in giving your mouth the attention it needs to stay healthy and clean.
Dental exams
When you visit Your Bronx Dentist for a regular cleaning, your appointment will begin with a dental exam. After a careful review and discussion about your medical questionnaire, your mouth and surrounding areas of your face will be examined.
We complete a comprehensive evaluation of your lips, tongue, palate, and floor of mouth to identify anything unusual. The next phase of the examination involves your jaw and gum pockets to make sure they are healthy and track any potential problems.
This process helps us gather all of the information necessary to identify potential oral health concerns, recommend new treatments, and discuss your special concerns. Besides a sore tooth or bleeding gums, you may wish to share your concerns such as bad breath, gaps between your teeth, or even yellow or discolored teeth.
In addition to your exam, you’ll also benefit from a full dental cleaning to remove stains and tartar from your teeth. You’ll leave the office with a fresh mouth and a bag of goodies to maintain your dental health. These dental aids will include a new soft-bristle brush, dental floss, and may include a specialized toothpaste and mouthrinse as well.
X-Rays
You may also undergo X-rays during your dental exam. These x-rays don’t need to be developed and read at a future time. Instead, they’ll be displayed immediately for you, the hygienist, and doctor to view and analyze.
With very minimal radiation exposure, x-rays offer the familiar black and white images that help us diagnose problems, identify disease, and track your oral health. Through x-rays we can detect infection and disease of the tooth, supporting bone and gum tissue.
Important to see your dentist every 6 months
Only your dentist has a full view of your mouth to notice the progression of decay, disease, or injury. If you skip your six month dental appointments, you may develop serious oral problems without ever realizing the issue. This makes it impossible to receive early intervention treatment or become educated on ways to improve your oral health at home.
When you give our Bronx dentists the opportunity to evaluate and clean your mouth every six months, you can trust that your oral health is being properly monitored and enhanced. This doesn’t just include your teeth, but also your gums, tongue, and throat. It’s the very best opportunity to protect your mouth for the future.
