Preventive Care

Preventive dentistry is crucial to maintaining a healthy smile. Our experienced dentist and team offer a wide range of preventive treatments to minimize your risk of developing cavities, gum disease or other problems, and we closely monitor your oral health so that any issues which do begin to develop are diagnosed and treated promptly. We will also work with you to create an ongoing plan for your oral health which includes both professional treatments and at-home care. We invite you to give us a call at 718-747-0020 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Tanya Vlacancich and learn more about preventive care in College Point and Whitestone, New York.

The goal of preventive care is to protect your smile from damage caused by tooth decay, periodontal disease (gum disease) and other damaging dental conditions. Preventive dentistry works to avert these diseases before they cause damage that requires repair. We offer a number of preventive dental treatments to help you keep your smile in the best possible health. These services include dental sealants and dental cleanings; visiting our office regularly ensures that we detect and treat any early signs of damage before they become more extensive and painful.

There are several steps you can take to prevent cavities and tooth decay. Our dentist and team recommend that you follow these guidelines to help minimize your chances for developing cavities:

Brush and floss your teeth every day. You should brush at least twice a day and floss at least once a day. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a fluoridated toothpaste.
Maintain a balanced, healthy diet with a limited amount of very sugary or acidic foods.
Visit our office at least twice a year for a routine teeth cleaning and dental exam.
Ask our team about dental sealants and fluoride treatment to see if they are right for your smile.

What Patients Are Saying

I had scheduled an appointment with Dr. Vlacancich while my usual dentist was on vacation, and the office made time to see me very quickly. I was able to fill out my paperwork online, making the process extremely easy when I arrived at the office. Dr. Vlacancich and her staff were extremely welcoming and friendly and talked me through every step, even fitting me in for a cleaning after my issue was resolved. I can't say enough good things. There was not a single bit of pain, and I will definitely be returning for my next cleaning as well as recommending Dr. Vlacancich to my friends and family.

Our family (all 5 of us) have been coming here for over 12 years and we have been treated like family. Dr. Tanya always makes time to speak with each and every one of us. She takes in to account our comfort and any concerns we have regarding our care. Her office is clean and modern. She makes coming to the dentist a non-event and we always look forward to having our check up and cleaning every time. Her staff is friendly and always makes us feel welcomed. We would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a dentist in the area.
