We’re always happy to help!

What’s the best way to care for my mouth?

Prevention is key! We recommend that you brush with a fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day and floss once a day. We also want you to see us twice a year for professional dental cleanings and have your mouth screened for oral cancer and gum disease.

How does my oral health affect my overall health?

Gum disease and severe dental decay can cause inflammation and infections that travel throughout your bloodstream. Oral issues like these have been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other serious conditions. It is important for us to see you regularly to check for and treat any problems to avoid medical complications.

How does sleep apnea affect my health?

Sleep apnea is marked by blockage in your airway while you sleep. It is linked to heart disease and stroke and can be a life-threatening condition if it is not treated properly. Sleep apnea also leaves you feeling tired and can affect your alertness, mood, and blood pressure. Dr. DiBona and our team offer several sleep apnea solutions to help you breathe, prevent complications, and get a good night’s sleep! Many of our patients find a custom-made sleep appliance far more comfortable and convenient to use than a CPAP machine.

Can my child’s teeth be straightened?

Your child’s teeth can be straightened through a variety of our orthodontic services. We will recommend the best treatment for your child based on his or her needs. We offer both traditional braces and Invisalign for teens. We also offer preventive orthodontics for children as young as 7.
