School is back in session here in Massapequa! As some students return to in-person classes, the safety of our students is of the utmost importance. If you are opting for in-person classes, be sure to monitor health daily, mask up, and of course, follow your school's safety protocols on campus. Stay safe, New York!
Flossing teeth is a quick, effective way to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Proper flossing removes plaque and food particles in places where a toothbrush cannot easily reach - under the gumline and between your teeth. Because plaque build-up can lead to tooth decay and gum disease, daily flossing is highly recommended.
We understand that 2020 isn't your average year, but that doesn't mean you should neglect your children's oral health.
We're still taking appointments for check-ups, so be sure to schedule one today!
Time is running out! The year is coming to an end and that means your insurance benefits will reset soon! Availability is limited, so don't delay - call 516-798-0223 now to schedule and make the most of your benefits!
Did you know that cavities come in classes? These are based on location in the mouth, rather than severity. The most common cavities are Class I maxillary occlusal caries - or the chewing surfaces of your top, back molars.

When's the best time to brush?
As long as you're brushing before and after sleep, you're on the right track. There's no right time to brush, but many recommend brushing first after breakfast to maximize freshness and cleanliness and again after your final meal of the day. This schedule creates the least time for food to sit in the mouth gathering bacteria.
Tongues should be cleaned as often as teeth. Doing so will keep breath fresh for great first impressions.

Did you know more than 60% of Americans have naturally sensitive teeth? This is most often caused by genetics, thin enamel, or cracked/damaged teeth. During the whitening process, it is completely normal for sensitivity to occur. The teeth become temporarily dehydrated which reduces their ability to insulate the nerve from changes in temperature. Sensitivity will disappear 12-36 hours after whitening.
Did you know oral health impacts overall health? This is especially pertinent in these times. In fact, poor gum health has been linked to increased susceptibility to and severity of diseases like COVID-19.

Think it's best to brush right after eating? It can actually do more harm than good! When eating the acid levels in your mouth increase, leaving enamel weakened. So brushing can become an abrasive process. Wait an hour, and let saliva do its job in the meantime.

When you need to have a complex procedure done on your teeth or in your mouth, such as wisdom teeth removal, your dentist may recommend you visit an oral surgeon. While an oral surgeon may initially sound interchangeable with a dentist, they fulfill different roles and have different educational and training experience when it comes to dental health.

Teeth Whitening Myths: Repeated whitening damages enamel.
The myth that teeth whitening can harm the enamel of your teeth is false. While at-home teeth whitening can be dangerous, professional whitening formulas applied by us do not damage the enamel in any way. The pores in the enamel are gently opened up so that dental bleaching agents can reach the stains beneath the surface of your teeth. About two days after the whitening procedure is complete, the pores close back up, leaving the enamel in its original state.
Dental treatments, special toothpaste, and endodontic treatment are all ways of treating tooth pain and sensitivity. However, certain oral health routine changes may be a good first step.
