Fluoride Benefits People of All Ages, Not Just Kids!

As a dentist, we were taught and have seen first-hand about the benefits of fluoride. Fluoride helps to harden the tooth's enamel and protect teeth from decay. Most pediatric dentists, like Dr. Geoffrey Gonzales, in our sister office, Little Smiles of Roselle Park, recommend that pediatric patients receive fluoride treatment at each of their bi-annual hygiene check ups.

Now, there is further evidence of the benefits of fluoride. According to Medical News Today, fluoride actually reduces the ability of decay-causing bacteria to stick to teeth!

So why is it that most dental offices only offer fluoride to its pediatric patients when the benefits of fluoride can be enjoyed by patients of all ages?! Here at Roselle Park Dental, we believe in prevention. We suggest fluoride treatment to all of our patients, regardless of age. Most insurance plans only cover fluoride treatment to those under a certain age, like 15, but who would you rather guide your oral health, your insurance company or your doctor?

Be sure to schedule and keep your bi-annual hygiene appointments to keep your teeth healthy and catch problems early. At these appointments, ask for fluoride treatment and keep those teeth strong! To schedule an appointment at our office, please visit our Website or call (908) 245-1745.

New, Improved Website

Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you know that we revamped much of the content on our Website, www.roselleparkdental.com. You can learn more about who I really am by visiting our Meet the Team Page. This isn't just a laundry list of my accomplishments, but rather a glimpse of how I approach my job and my life.

We also have implemented new payment plans at Roselle Park Dental. You are now able to get started on your dental treatment and pay later! In other words, you can make monthly payments without interest toward dental work you've already started or even completed. If you need more than just a few months to pay for your dental treatment, we offer extended payment plans for up to 36 months! We understand dental work is expensive, and we want to give our patients as many options as we can for them to get the dental treatment they need. To learn more about our new monthly, no interest payment plans, please visit our Financial Page.

If you don't have dental insurance, don't worry! We have an in-office discount dental plan that helps you and your family receive the treatment you need. The plan pays for itself with just a teeth cleaning appointment or one tooth-colored filling. You can learn more about Roselle Park Dental's discount savings plan by visiting our Financial Page.

We look forward to helping you and your family.
