At Hills Park Dental, we understand that preventive care is the cornerstone of a healthy and fulfilling life. Much like how regular exercise and a balanced diet contribute to your overall wellbeing, prioritizing preventive dental care can significantly impact your long-term oral health and your smile.
Routine dental checkups are essential components of preventive care. We encourage you to make and keep regular appointments at six-month intervals. These routine visits allow our dentists to monitor your oral health and provide you with preventive treatments (including cleanings, exams, sealants and fluoride) that will reduce your risk of tooth decay, gum disease and other problems. These visits also help ensure that any problems which do develop are diagnosed and treated promptly, before any significant damage can be done to your teeth and smile. We will also provide recommendations on ways you can improve your at-home oral hygiene.
We strongly recommend that you continue to visit our dentists and team regularly for preventive care, even if you feel you may not need it. Waiting until you have a problem or are experiencing discomfort may seem like it saves you time and money, but the truth is that regular preventive care helps you avoid the need for lengthy, extensive and costly treatments.
Preventive dental care is an investment in the future of your smile. We invite you to call us today at 631-254-6596 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Patricia Breen or Dr. Elyse Patrella and learn more about how preventive care in Deer Park, New York, benefits you.
