General Dentistry Manhattan
Our team believes that routine preventive dental care is the foundation for lifelong oral health and plays an important role in reducing the risk of several dental health concerns such as gum disease. Routine visits enable she and her staff to monitor a patient’s oral health and offer conservative treatment options or additional at-home care to maintain healthy teeth and gums between visits.
A dental exam with Dr. Tan or Dr. Abudayyeh typically includes:
- Digital dental x-rays
- Intra-oral diagnostic dental imaging
- Screening for gum disease, tooth decay, and oral cancer
- Occlusal analysis and examination of temporomandibular joints (TMJ)
During routine dental exams, Dr. Tan or Dr. Abudayyeh look for any underlying dental problems that may compromise the results of any dentistry. A practitioner of complete dentistry, she understands and educates patients on the necessity of a comfortable, balanced bite for lasting dental health. We also provide root canal therapy when infected teeth need repair.
Preventing Gum Disease
The prevention of periodontal disease is an important part of keeping the teeth strong and healthy. Healthy gums are the supporting structure for healthy teeth. A thorough periodontal screening is part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Tan and Dr. Abudayyeh offer periodontal therapy for patients who have gum disease with the level of treatment depending on the stage of the disease.
Gingivitis: Your dentist can treat early-stage gum disease can typically be treated with an intense cleaning procedure, scaling and root planing. You can prevent your bleeding gums from Gingivitis with a thorough salt-water rinse and routine brushing.
Periodontitis: For advanced gum disease, Dr. Tan or Dr. Abudayyeh may refer you to a local specialist to restore gum health.
When left untreated, gum disease can lead to complex dental problems or even tooth loss.
