At NYC Smile Spa, we are committed to your complete oral health. Often, patients believe that their dental care only involves the state of their teeth, when that can’t be further from the truth. When you visit our office for an oral hygiene examination and cleaning, we are not only cleaning the teeth and looking for tooth decay but also examining the health of your gums. September is National Gum Care Month, a time when we help people understand the importance of healthy gums. More than half of American adults experience gum disease at some point during their lifetime.
