Your smile is a real treasure. It enables you to eat, speak, express emotion and shows your uniqueness to the world. In other words, your smile is you...in many ways. To keep it healthy and bright for your entire lifetime, see your family dentist in Shelton, CT, regularly. Dr. Adrian Basu and Dr. Michael Caserta at Dental Associates of Shelton work to protect teeth and gums for your best well-being.
What do you need?
To maintain good oral health, children to adults in their elder years require routine in-office care. While your brushing, flossing and dietary habits at home are foundational to your great smile, you also need the input and services of your family dentist.
At Dental Associates of Shelton, Dr. Basu and Dr. Caserta ask you to come in twice a year for a cleaning and check-up. These preventive services are so important as they detect problems before they spiral out of control, and they keep gum disease, decay, tooth loss and their related systemic health problems at bay.
According to research from the American Dental Association (ADA), 85 percent of adults in the United States absolutely agree that prevention avoids smile-related health issues. However, only a small 15 percent believe they possess good oral health. What's the answer to this dilemma? Join with your dentist in achieving your best smile.
