Westchester Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry — your first line of defense

Achieving optimal oral health begins with prevention. Prevention means scheduling and keeping regular dental appointments at our Westchester office. We know schedules get busy, but putting off a dental cleaning or exam is one of the easiest ways for small problems to become big ones.

What you don't see can hurt you

Just because your teeth look and feel okay does not mean problems aren't developing:

• Tooth decay can progress with no symptoms until it reaches the inner tooth and causes a toothache or risk of tooth loss.
• Periodontal (gum) disease affects roughly three out of four adults and can be present without obvious symptoms.
• More than 50,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer each year. Pre-cancerous cells aren't visible to the naked eye — we screen for them with VELscope.
• Dental erosion affects many children and young adults who regularly drink acidic beverages like sodas, energy drinks, and fruit drinks.

What a preventive visit includes

Your routine visit includes a professional cleaning, periodontal evaluation, oral cancer screening, digital x-rays as needed, and a thorough exam by Dr. Aiello.
