Our
Hudson Heights dentist is dedicated to your healthy smile and Elliot Gutman, DMD will not only explain proper, preventative dental hygiene, but also go over the best ways for you to continue preventing cavities and gum disease at home. Our well-educated staff not only encourage, but teach good oral health practices and the best dental care that keeps your teeth and gums healthy. Proper brushing, flossing and using rinses and mouthwashes, before and after brushing, are great hygiene habits to develop and keep up. There are certain preventative dentistry procedures that can be performed by our
Hudson Heights dentist, but the best dental hygiene starts at home with a good daily oral routine.

Our
Hudson Heights dentist, a dental hygiene expert, will consult with you before performing a thorough exam to see the state of your total oral health. To make sure the best dental, and general, health is being practiced, Dr. Gutman will do a complete check of your mouth including your jaw joints, lips, tongue, neck lymph nodes, and palate. With all the results from the exam, we will have the information needed to correctly advise you on what kind of dental hygiene you should be practicing to prevent any future issues.
The prevention of tooth decay and gum disease are the main focus of proper oral hygiene. Our
Hudson Heights dentist knows that once you have healthy teeth and gums, you feel better about yourself, and a healthy mouth creates a strong basis for general health and well-being. To help your teeth and gums feel great and look terrific, our dental hygienist will perform a deep cleaning and polishing as part of our preventative care therapy. Fluoride treatments are another good preventative procedure that promotes good dental hygiene. Fluoride can also make your teeth much more resistant to tooth decay and is found in most toothpastes. Depending on the present condition of your teeth and gums, our dental hygienist will go over correct cleaning methods and dental hygiene products most appropriate for you.
