“I can count on one hand how many
pleasant experiences I have had a doctor’s offices recently. However,
the staff at Carp Dental Associates is absolutely wonderful. They are
accommodating, sincere and accepting of everyone. I don’t dread going
to the dentist any longer.”
Noah Feinberg Patient
Regular Check-ups
Do you think you only
need a check up once a year? That may be a mistake. After your next
visit, ask your dentist how often you should have a check-up. Simple,
regular check-ups using fluoride and/or the sealing of small pits in
the enamel of your teeth may severely limit your chances of tooth decay
and other more serious and painful problems.
Eat A Healthy Diet
Do you love Gummy
Bears, Swedish Fish and other sticky treats? We do too! But, eating
sticky or dry foods that remain on your teeth increases the risk of
cavity development. So, if you can’t eat healthy all the time, remember
to brush your teeth after each meal. It will significantly decrease
your risk of cavities!
Floss Daily
We realize that
flossing can be a pain but it is very important if you want to have a
healthy smile and odorless breath! Try to use dental floss at least
once a day to remove harmful plaque and left over food from between
your teeth. In addition to flossing, regular brushing with a soft brush
will prevent gum disease, which causes bad breath and can lead to loss
of teeth.
We are always welcoming new patients to our practice. Request a new patient exam here.
