We are passionate about our patients being mindful of their oral health. Your mouth often gives you a sign that you are experiencing a problem with your oral health. We see most of our patients only two or three times a year, so it’s important for them to regularly check their mouths for signs of a problem. Here are three common problems we see in patients:
One of the biggest concerns we hear from patients who visit our office for an oral hygiene examination and cleaning is tooth decay.

We are happy to share that there is something we can do! Read on to learn more.
Are you or someone you know currently pregnant or planning to start a family in the near future? Pregnancy is a busy time. In addition to all the preparation that takes place in your home, there are also a number of doctor appointments that are needed to ensure a healthy pregnancy and baby. Not only does your body change during pregnancy, but your mouth can change as well. Hormonal changes in your body during pregnancy increase your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Here are some helpful tips for each stage of your pregnancy.
At Chichetti & Patel Dental Wellness, we do all we can to help our patients avoid dental problems and complications with their oral health.

Restorative dental treatments help those who experience recurrent decay, frequent discomfort, missing teeth, or visible dental damage.

One of our goals is for our patients to have optimal oral health. This can be accomplished when patients visit our office regularly for routine dental care and properly care for their teeth between visits.

Eventually, however, you will see a negative impact on your teeth and oral health. Read on to learn more.
Did we recommend a dental treatment for you or a loved one during your last visit, and you have put off scheduling your appointment?

Even if you are not due for a treatment, now is a great time to schedule your next oral hygiene examination for yourself and your whole family. Delaying necessary and routine dental treatments can lead to serious complications with your oral health. Continue reading to learn more about the importance of not delaying a treatment we recommend.
Is your life highly stressful? We face many challenges on any given day, whether it is financial difficulty, family issues, an overload of work, or even traffic. Any of these issues can lead to an increased level of stress. You may be surprised to learn that your mouth can show signs that you are under stress. When you visit our office for an oral hygiene examination, there are warning signs that indicate your stress levels. The signs we are looking for include:
With the end of 2023 fast approaching, now is a fantastic time to evaluate your oral health. Are you in need of an oral hygiene examination or a recommended treatment?

The longer you wait to get a cleaning or treatment, the greater the chance you have of experiencing a dental emergency. We would hate for something unfortunate to happen during this joyous time of year. Read on to learn more.
Do you find yourself cringing when you eat foods that are extremely hot or cold? If so, you may be experiencing issues with tooth sensitivity. Tooth sensitivity is not uncommon, and most people experience it at some point. If you experience tooth sensitivity regularly, it can be an indication that you have a problem with your oral health.
