General & Preventative Dentistry

Many people only think about going to a dentist when they have a toothache. However, tooth decay is a serious matter which can have a big impact on your health. Infections, tooth loss, and inability to function all come from poor oral health. This is what general and preventive dentistry are all about making you as healthy as possible so you can live the life you want.

General and preventive dentistry do much more than just fix toothaches. They include the prevention and treatment of tooth and gum diseases. Keep in mind that the longer a dental problem continues, the more extensive it becomes—and the more expensive it is to fix. Thus, it’s always cheaper and better to catch dental problems early.

To have a healthy, natural smile, you need healthy teeth and gums. In Centereach, NY, Dr. Joseph Cinquemani provides general and preventive dentistry services to help people maintain healthy teeth and gums.

From children to adults, you will find all the dental services you need in one location at Amazing Smiles. Make an appointment now to consult with Dr. Leibowitz about your oral health by calling us at (631) 467 4440.

What Are Cavities?

A cavity is an area of damage or decay on your tooth. When you don’t follow a thorough oral hygiene routine, bacteria sticks to your teeth and creates an acid that eats through your enamel. This is how cavities get started. If you don’t get your cavities treated by a dentist, they will get bigger and can lead to severe tooth decay, infections, and even tooth loss.

Signs of a Cavity
When a cavity first starts to form, you may not notice any symptoms. As it gets bigger, you may experience:

Persistent toothache
Pain when eating or drinking
Increased sensitivity to temperature
White spots on your teeth (early stages) Brown or black stains on your teeth (later stages)
Cavity Treatment
The standard treatment for cavities is a dental filling. There are several different types of materials we can use for fillings, including:

A tooth-colored composite resin
Standard silver amalgam
Ceramic or porcelain

In general, our expert dentists will treat your cavity by first removing the decayed sections of your tooth and cleaning out the cavity. Once the cavity is prepared, we will fill it in using one of the materials listed above. After the cavity is filled, we will smooth and polish the filling.

Once the procedure is finished, your tooth will be protected from further decay so long as you maintain a good oral hygiene routine and come back to see us at least twice a year for checkups!
