A Healthy Smile and Your Overall Well-being

At Dental Associates of North Smithfield, we understand that a healthy smile is more than just an attractive asset; it is crucial to your overall well-being. Studies have increasingly shown a connection between poor oral health and systemic conditions like digestive disorders, respiratory problems, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. Even a simple dental infection, if left untreated, can lead to severe health issues.

The Importance of Regular Checkups and Care

The best way to prevent cavities, gum disease, and a range of other dental problems is through good oral hygiene, a nutritious diet, a healthy lifestyle, and a preventive dental care program.

We recommend our patients visit twice a year for routine checkups and professional cleanings. These visits allow us to monitor your oral health, reduce the risk of dental disease, and detect any issues early on when they are easiest to treat. Regular exams also enable us to screen for oral cancer and check for other conditions that might affect your systemic health.

Our Commitment to Your Healthy Smile

At Dental Associates of North Smithfield, our concern for your oral health goes beyond our office doors. Patient education is a vital part of our comprehensive preventive care program. We take the time to provide you with the guidance and resources needed to maintain good oral health at home. During each checkup, we review your oral hygiene practices and offer detailed instructions on effective brushing and flossing techniques to keep your smile clean and reduce harmful plaque buildup.

Building a Foundation for Children’s Oral Health

We are dedicated to helping children establish a strong foundation for a lifetime of optimal oral health. Besides offering appropriate age information and instruction to maintain healthy smiles, we provide periodic topical fluoride treatments and dental sealants for added protection against childhood tooth decay.

Prevention is Key

It’s essential not to wait until you’re in pain or notice something wrong to visit the dentist. By taking preventive measures and scheduling routine checkups, we can help you maintain optimal oral health and a beautiful smile that supports your overall wellness.
