National Dentist Day is Coming Soon!

March 6 is National Dentist Day! Dentists do a lot to make sure our smiles are healthy and clean. Learn more about what a dentist can do for you by reading on.

If you're experiencing oral pain, a dentist can help. Mouth pain is uncomfortable, frustrating, and annoying. By visiting your dentist, you can learn what is causing the pain and how to solve this problem. Sometimes oral pain is caused by impacted wisdom teeth or a cavity, while other pains are caused by the foods you are eating or the way you bite. A good dentist will know exactly how to help you achieve a comfortable and healthy mouth.

Let's be honest, a lot of people have a fear of the dentist. If you're one of these people, know that the best way to get over your fear is to conquer it. Make your way to the dentist and don't be afraid to admit you're nervous. A professional dentist knows how to ease your nerves and help you feel relaxed and comfortable during your appointment.

It is important for individuals to start seeing a dentist at a young age. If you need to take your children to the dentist, a dentist can help care for your child's smile and their overall health.

Dentists can also help individuals detect diseases. A routine checkup can keep your mouth clean and free of harmful bacterias. If you visit your dentist at least twice a year, you can prevent your chances of getting rotting teeth, periodontal disease, and other oral health problems.

Dentists can even help us with our nutrition. Dentists know which foods and drinks are good for our smile, and which aren't. A dentist can recommend foods for you to introduce into your diet, as well as foods you should avoid.

Dentists truly do it all, so celebrate National Dentist Day this March 6 by making an appointment at the offices of Dr. Lattinelli. You can reach us by phone at 212-752-7188, and we hope to work with you soon!
