Dental floss is a thread used to remove food and dental plaque from teeth. It is inserted between the teeth and scraped along the teeth sides, close to the gums and sometimes between teeth and gum. It is used in combination with tooth brushing and can reduce gingivitis and halitosis.

. Vacation here....

A lack of regulation means patients are leaving Turkey with worse teeth than they arrived with - and dentists at home refuse to touch them.

Watch for our Grand Reopening!

Dentists really don't like Spider-Man, apparently.

Please excuse the interruption in my office's services. The cold broke a pipe and flooded most of it. It is being remodeled and repaired!
Stay tuned for the Reopening!

We gladly accept new patients, and will make every effort to accommodate your family and friends. Most of our new patients come to us by personal recommendation and we deeply appreciate the confidence in our office that a personal referral demonstrates. We will do all that we can to retain that trust.

NYSDA and ADA strongly disagree with the World Health Organization's statement.NYSDA and ADA strongly disagree with the World Health Organization’s guidance advising that routine, non-essential oral health care, including oral health check-ups, dental cleanings and preventive care, be delayed.

The WHO provides guidance worldwide, and its recent document “Considerations for the provision of essential oral health services in the context of COVID-19” is not specific to New York. Guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NYS Department of Health and the NYSDACOVID-19 Resources webpage provide resources and tools to help dental teams practice safely during the pandemic.

The American Dental Association released the following statement regarding WHO’s recommendation to delay routine care:

The American Dental Association (ADA) respectfully yet strongly disagrees with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendation to delay “routine” dental care in certain situations due to COVID-19.

“Oral health is integral to overall health. Dentistry is essential health care,” states ADA President Chad P. Gehani, D.D.S. “Dentistry is essential health care because of its role in evaluating, diagnosing, preventing or treating oral diseases, which can affect systemic health.”

In this world everything is tentative. Some things will change. Arriving for appointments will mean checking in with us, and then staying in your car until we can see you and you will be brought straight to a treatment room. Other changes include improved PPE that will be worn for your protection and the protection of others. You will see barriers in place that were not present before. One person in the office at a time. No magazines out, and this situation is quite fluid and may change in time. So, please bear with us as we all find our way in this new normal. Wishing you and your families good health now and in the future!
