11021 Dentist
At Great Neck Natural Smiles, our expert and highly regarded dentist is Dr. Howard K. Baylarian. Our practice has been providing excellent dental care in Great Neck and the surrounding areas for over 20 years. We always stress the importance of oral exams and good oral hygiene to our patients. In fact, many serious dental problems can be avoided if you are sure to have your regularly scheduled checkups and professional dental cleanings on a timely basis. During a comprehensive oral exam, our
11021 dentist will: thoroughly check your teeth for any signs of decay; check your gums for signs of gingivitis or gum disease; screen your mouth for oral cancer; and evaluate your bite and jaws for any sign of alignment problems. You will also probably have a full set of x-rays taken at the start of the dental exam.
If our
11021 dentist finds that your gums are affected by gingivitis, he will most likely recommend that you have several professional dental cleanings over the next few months; this will most likely take care of gingivitis and get your gums healthy again. If your gums reveal more serious gum disease, Dr. Baylarian may recommend a planing and scaling procedure; this is like a deep cleaning for the gums that will remove tartar and bacteria from the pockets that have formed between your teeth and gums. This will hopefully get your gums back on the right track and help the deep pockets to become smaller. The progress of your gums will be monitored at subsequent follow up visits. Good oral hygiene and oral exams are very important in preventing gum disease. If gum disease is allowed to continue unchecked, it can ultimately cause the jawbone to become infected. This can cause other health problems, and may well cause some of your teeth to loosen and fall out. That is why it is so important to visit our office periodically for professional dental cleanings and exams. Tartar, the leading cause of gum disease, is a mineralized substance that cannot be removed by brushing; special professional dental cleaning instruments are needed to remove this substance from your teeth. If you would like to see Dr. Baylarian for a complete oral exam, contact us today at great Neck Natural Smiles for an appointment.
