FAQ

Questions
How often should I visit the dentist?

We recommend a check-up and cleaning every six months, though Dr. Heifitz may suggest more frequent visits based on your individual needs. With over 30 years of clinical experience, he tailors a preventive plan to keep your smile healthy. Same-day appointments are available for new and existing patients.

What should I do if I have a toothache?

If you experience a toothache, rinse your mouth with warm water and use dental floss to remove any food particles stuck between your teeth. If the pain persists, contact your dentist for an appointment as soon as possible. You can also take over-the-counter pain medication to help alleviate discomfort until you can see your dentist.

How can I prevent cavities?

To prevent cavities, brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and limit sugary and acidic foods and beverages. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are also essential for maintaining good oral health.

What are the signs of gum disease?

Signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or tender gums, bleeding while brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose or shifting teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment with your dentist.

What payment options do you accept?

We accept most major dental insurance plans, as well as cash and all major credit cards. Flexible financing is available through CareCredit and other third-party providers to help you spread the cost of treatment. Contact our Upper East Side office at (212) 430-3888 and we'll happily verify your coverage and walk you through your options.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

In case of a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or broken dental appliance, call our Upper East Side office immediately at (212) 430-3888. We reserve time in our daily schedule for same-day and emergency appointments, and Dr. Heifitz will see you as quickly as possible. We'll provide instructions on how to handle your situation until you can see the dentist.

Are dental X-rays safe?

Yes, modern dental X-rays are safe. The amount of radiation exposure from a dental X-ray is minimal, and dentists take precautions to minimize exposure by using lead aprons and collars. X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool for detecting dental issues that may not be visible during a regular exam.
