The health of your gums and teeth are essential to the health of your whole body. Keeping your teeth and gums healthy through preventive dental care may avoid the need for extensive, and expensive, advanced dental treatments down the road. New York City dentist Dr. Jocelyn Tan offers quality and conservative cosmetic, general, and preventative dental care to all of her patients.
Healthy Teeth & Gums New York City
Proper brushing, flossing and routine visits to Dr. Jocelyn Tan can keep your smile healthy, bright, and functional. Brushing regularly is the most effective step in preventative dental care. Brushing can deter bacterial infections of the gums, tooth decay and cavities. If you are not brushing properly, you may be leaving behind sugar and food bits that become feeding grounds for dangerous plaque.
Plaque buildup can develop into dental concerns such as gum disease and tooth decay. Brushing and flossing also helps to keep your mouth’s bacteria levels in check. Tooth decay and gum disease can develop into advanced health concerns that are linked to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Do not let yourself become complacent in your oral hygiene routine. Stay diligent in your oral health care and maintain your healthy smile for life.
Schedule routine dental check ups at our New York City dental office. Preventive dental care checkups can help Dr. Tan diagnose and treat advanced dental health concerns early. Early diagnosis can help prevent the spread of disease and allows Dr. Tan to offer conservative dental treatments.
