Frequently Asked Questions
There are several factors you should analyze when choosing a dentist. First, you want to make sure your dentist has a comfortable office and friendly staff. We welcome future patients to visit our office for a tour before scheduling an appointment with us. You should feel comfortable with your dentist. You should also review your dentist’s credentials. Is your dentist a member of post-graduate academies or the American Dental Association? Does your dentist study the latest research? Does your dentist attend continuing education courses to learn new technologies in dentistry? Dr. Magid is an ADA member, and she takes continuing education very seriously. She is committed to staying on the forefront of modern dentistry, through countless hours of continuing education.

You should brush twice a day and floss once a day at minimum. Some patients may need to brush and floss more often to control gingivitis or gum disease. Dr. Magid always recommends a Phillips Sonicare toothbrush to all her patients, and provides free manual brushes to take home at every cleaning with his hygienist.
The American Dental Association recommends healthy patients visit their dentists twice a year. This frequency will ensure there are no underlying oral health issues invading your mouth. Depending on your oral care needs, you may need to come in more regularly. Dr. Magid can develop an individual treatment plan for you.
