Meet Hannah!
Some of you have already become acquainted with the newest member of our team, Hannah. Hannah and Christina are the happy voices on the other end of our phones! New to the hustle and bustle of a dental practice like ours, Hannah is excited to join Christina as our front office team. She recently returned to the Hackettstown area after attending college in Boston. When out of the office, Hannah is ready to beat the heat this summer with many beach trips, pool days, and nights around a campfire. She can’t wait to meet you on your next visit!
Oral Health Month
June is Oral Health Month! This month is to educate individuals about the importance of good oral hygiene practices, preventive care, and regular dental check-ups. Maintaining a general level of oral health is a fairly simple task, yet many lack these day-to-day routines. By emphasizing the significance of oral health, this month-long campaign encourages people to make positive changes in their dental routines and maintain healthy smiles for a lifetime. The consequences of minimal oral health care and a lack of routine dentistry can lead to declining oral health with problems such as tooth decay and gum disease. So be sure to schedule your cleanings every six months to maintain good oral health.
Thorough is Good!
Lately we’ve been hearing from our newer patients that they’ve never had such a thorough first visit with a dentist before. We love hearing that! Here is what you can expect at a new patient appointment (not an emergency visit) in our office- a comprehensive clinical exam, charting of each tooth and existing restorations, review of medical and dental history, blood pressure screening, periodontal charting (checking for gum disease), intraoral photos of your teeth, a 3-D scan of your mouth, oral cancer exam and in some cases, a cleaning at the same visit.
Summer Cleanings
You’ve heard of Spring Cleaning and Fall Cleaning… but Summertime is when the kids are home from college – so let’s get them in and get their teeth cleaned before heading back to school. This holds true for kids of all ages – summertime is usually easier for parents to schedule dental appointments – no sports or afterschool activities to interfere. So call us at (908) 852-8858 today!
