Staying ahead of dental problems: The money-saving, pain-free preventative approach
Semidey Dental welcomes you and your family with open arms! You deserve to be cared for by a trusted Tooth Tribe who treats you with respect and dignity. From a friendly personal greeting to a soothing lavender-scented towel at the visit’s end, no detail is too small or overlooked in our pursuit of truly caring dental care.
Maintaining your oral health is a commitment to yourself, your well-being, and your healthspan. It requires not only consistent visits to our inviting office in Davie, Florida, but also a dedication to at-home care as recommended by your trusted Tooth Tribe. We’re here to support you every step of the way!
Preventive dentistry keeps the teeth, gums, and associated tissues and structures healthy by staying ahead of common causes of damage and tooth loss. And regular visits (check-ups) are a cornerstone of effective preventative care. With our team on your side, we help you and your family avoid the time and expense associated with treatments to resolve often painful conditions.
What can I expect during a visit?
Every visit to Semidey Dental is unique, but the first visit is particularly important. Our one-of-a-kind new patient experience includes a 90-minute initial consultation, one-on-one with one of our doctors. We take plenty of time to assess your current dental health and identify any problems that may exist. We strive to provide credible, clear, and transparent information to empower our patients. This knowledge is powerful; it helps patients understand what it takes to make a real difference in their health.
During this initial consultation, we dive into the findings, welcome specific questions, and chat with you about your goals. Together, we develop a plan to move your health in the right direction. While each patient is one of a kind, all of our guests should visit us at least twice a year. These six-month visits allow us to identify and monitor any changes since the last visit. Our dental hygienists also apply their professional skills and tools to clean and polish your teeth for a healthy, beautiful smile and fresh breath.
Why do I need a professional cleaning if I brush at home?
Great question! Preventative dentistry requires both professional care and home care. There is no substitute for professional cleanings because our hygienists are equipped to remove stubborn plaque buildup. This tartar cannot be removed with standard toothbrushes and cleaning tools. And, even with the best care at home, no one can remove all the plaque constantly forming on the teeth. Without proper removal, tartar erodes both the teeth and the supportive gums and bone by promoting the development of dental decay and gum disease.
Additionally, you may think that you are brushing and flossing “good enough.” But we can recommend ways to help you better clean between the teeth or in hard-to-reach places. We also suggest cleaning aides; for instance, electric toothbrushes are a good alternative to the standard toothbrush because they optimally break up plaque and penetrate the grooves between the teeth and gums.
What if you find something wrong during my visit?
Don’t worry! We’re here to help and will work with you to address any concerns. Sometimes, all it takes is a slight adjustment to your home care routine. At Semidey Dental, we believe in a conservative approach to treatment, recommending the least invasive methods to restore your oral health effectively.
A healthy mouth fuels the overall well-being of your entire body. Now that you’ve learned a bit about us, let’s get to know you! Call our Tooth Tribe in Davie, FL, today at (954) 939-0996 to schedule your first visit.
