Did you ever play would you rather as a child? The point of the game is to offer a person two equally terrible activities, and see which of the two the person chooses. When it comes to caring for your teeth, would you rather stop problems before they start, or treat dental health issues after they’ve done damage? Most people wouldn’t even hesitate on this extremely simple round of “would you rather”: stopping problems before they start is the clear choice. Luckily for us, this doesn’t have to be only a game. The choice is truly yours. Preventive dental treatments from Papageorgiou Dental Associates in Natick, MA stop dental damage before it starts. Call to schedule an appointment today.
The best way to ensure continued oral health, is to remember to visit our office twice a year, and brush twice a day. By committing to these two simple steps, you commit to lifelong oral health. It’s as easy at that. Humans are creatures of habit. Some habits we want to break like always eating a bag of chips in front of the tv after work, but others we work hard to establish and maintain. Eating well, exercising, getting enough sleep, and caring for our teeth building these habits help us to feel better, look great, and live a longer, happier life. At Papageorgiou Dental Associates, we’re here to help you achieve your oral health care goals.
Every six months, we look forward to seeing your smiling face, and we hope visiting our office is something you look forward to. Our dedicated staff strives to make every visit comfortable and beneficial. Your consistent hygiene appointments support your at home dental health care routine so teeth stay clean and healthy. At your regular checkups one of our skilled dentists will thoroughly examine your teeth and mouth. We’ll look for tooth decay and other damage, but our doctors also screen for periodontal (gum) disease, bruxism (grinding/clenching teeth), TMJ disorder, and oral cancer. Because our team examines your bite every six months, we are able to spot irregularities quickly and determine if treatment is necessary. The more familiar our knowledgeable staff becomes with your oral health the better able we are to treat you, and best of all prevent many oral health issues from ever happening.
Preventive dental care starts at home. Your regular checkups would do you little good, if you never brushed or flossed your teeth between visits. Establishing thorough, consistent home cleaning habits is essential to maintain oral health. Adult patients may benefit from re-examining their brushing habits to get the most out of their twice daily routine. One great method for brushing your teeth is referred to as the “Bass method” this style of brushing allows patients to maximize the benefits of their daily brushing. Here’s how you can use the Bass method:

Most people know automatically to call 911 in case of a medical emergency. But do you know who to call in case of a dental emergency? If you don’t, you could be setting yourself up for a rude awakening. Most hospital emergency rooms don’t have the qualified staff to treat complex dental emergencies. Furthermore, they’re not equipped to replace or restore teeth that have been knocked out or need to be removed. You can save yourself, time, money, and headaches, by building a relationship with a dentist that your family can turn to during dental emergencies. Make an appointment to get to know Dr. Papageorgiou at Papageorgiou Dental Associates today. If you do so, you’ll know exactly who to call during a dental emergency. Dr. Papageorgiou wants to help you keep your family safe and healthy. Papageorgiou Dental Associates proudly serves families throughout Natick, MA, Framingham, Wayland, Sudbury, Wellesley and surrounding communities.

In our last post, we mentioned that Papageorgiou Dental Associates offers essential care for patients of all ages, including children. Today we’d like to talk more about our commitment to Natick’s littlest patients by explaining what you can expect from a children’s dentistry visit.
Essential Care for Natick’s Littlest Smiles
At our office, we offer children’s dentistry for patients as young as two years old. It might surprise you that children as young as that even need oral care, but it’s true.
Part of our goal for children that young is to create a positive experience. By creating positive experiences for your child, we can encourage them to make regular care a priority all throughout their life.
Here’s what you can expect from a regular children’s dentistry visit:
First, Dr. Christina Papageorgiou will examine your child’s teeth for signs of tooth decay or gum disease. If it looks like your child’s teeth might be vulnerable to decay, we may use a fluoride treatment or dental sealants to help provide your little one’s teeth with extra protection. Dr. Papageorgiou will also look for indications that your child might need braces at some point, in addition to checking for signs of jaw or bite problems. Then, we’ll complete your child’s appointment by educating them on brushing and flossing—something we’re committed to teaching every patient we see.
Is It Time for Your Child’s Next Appointment?
If it’s time for your child’s next appointment, call Papageorgiou Dental Associates today. We gladly serve patients of all ages from Natick, Framingham, Wellesley, and beyond with great general, cosmetic, and restorative services.
Welcome to the blog for Papageorgiou Dental Associates! This is where you’ll find information and news about our Natick office, including info about our services and great oral care tips you can share with friends or family.
We’ll kick things off today by talking about our comprehensive family dentistry services. As your Natick family dentist, Dr. Christina Papageorgiou offers helpful general, cosmetic, and restorative services.
But we don’t just offer services for adults. Papageorgiou Dental Associates also serves children with children’s dentistry. All of which makes our office a great place for you to bring your whole family.
How often should your child come in for a visit?
We recommend scheduling a regular exam and cleaning twice a year, or about every six months. Such visits are important, because they give Dr. Papageorgiou a chance to check your smile for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and an even more serious problem like oral cancer. By putting off or ignoring important visits like these, you could be setting yourself up for more advanced cases of decay and gum disease. But you can help yourself avoid that through regular care and great brushing and flossing at home.
