Dr. Roksar places a great deal of importance on regular dental checkups and cleanings. A plan of preventive dentistry is the most important service we offer. Regularly scheduled examinations and professional cleanings are the best way to achieve long term good dental health. Keeping a beautiful and healthy smile throughout your lifetime is now possible, and the professionals at NYDental will show you how.
Early detection is key to avoiding costly and painful dental treatment. Prevention begins with the control of plaque and calculus (tartar), the main causes of decay and gum disease.
- Plaque and tartar (calculus)
- Brushing : proper technique
- Manual vs. electric toothbrushes
- Brushing & flossing: – proper technique
- Prevention – cleaning intervals
On your first visit, Dr. Roksar usually will completely examine each tooth. He checks the surrounding gums and oral cavity next. After screening for oral cancer, Dr. Roksar examines the TMJ for any clicking or popping. If necessary, a full series of x-rays are taken (our office uses digital low radiation radiographs – x-rays – and an intra-oral camera for examinations and patient education). Your teeth and gums are then professionally cleaned. Dr. Roksar reviews oral hygiene, including proper brushing and flossing, and finally, he creates a personalized dental treatment plan with you.
