Patients should visit the dentist for routine cleanings and exams every six months. However, some patients may require more frequent visits based on their oral health needs. Be sure to provide patients with personalized recommendations based on their unique situations.
What causes tooth decay?
Tooth decay is caused by acids that are produced by bacteria in the presence of sugar. To prevent decay these bacteria, sugar, and acids must be periodically removed by means of brushing and flossing.
How often should I get X-rays?
For most people, a complete radiographic survey should be done every 3 years, and a "checkup" or "recall" should be set every 6 to 12 months. A complete set of X-rays is estimated to expose you to the same amount of radiation you get on a flight from San Francisco to Seattle.
How can I maintain good oral health?
Patients may be curious about how to maintain good oral health outside of the dental clinic. Be prepared to provide tips on proper brushing and flossing techniques, diet and nutrition recommendations, and other oral hygiene best practices.
What is the best kind of toothbrush?
Commonly, a soft-bristled toothbrush is the best. Whether you use a manual toothbrush or an electric, anything harder than soft is too hard. Stiff bristles may give you that clean feeling, but they can also abrade your teeth and cause gum recession.
I got my braces done with Dr. Sangwan at National Dental Upper east side and I'm in love with my new smile all thanks to her. I Couldn't believe how quick and easy she fixed my teeth. I love this place I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice dental office in the upper east side.

The service is exceptional. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with a warm hello. The waiting area and examination rooms are impeccable. The ladies in the reception areas are very professional as well as personable. Jerry is the Hygienist there and he is so gentle and the cleaning is superb. Gloria makes the short wait so pleasant. I look forward to my appointments always because it is like being around family

Had my routine exam. Wasn't painful at all. Usually I delay going to the dentist. Definitely glad I found this place. Aida was so polite and helpful. Thank you Edith and Yesenia. Definitely will spread the word to my friends. Thank you Yesenia for explaining all the different options I didn't even know I had.
I always enjoy coming to this location because of the staff. Pat in particular. They make you feel comfortable and it's usually not a long wait. The work is GREAT and everything that I've had done in the past has been up to point. Even my son is not afraid of the dentist because of them.
