Got Questions About preventive dental care?

FAQs

Find Answers Here.

Why is preventative care essential?

Preventative care is the cornerstone of good oral health. By taking proactive measures, patients can avoid the onset of many dental complications, ensure early detection of potential issues, and maintain optimal oral hygiene. It not only safeguards your smile but also contributes to overall health and well-being.

How often should I have an oral cancer screening?

Regular oral cancer screenings are vital. For most individuals, an annual screening during their routine dental check-up suffices. However, if you have risk factors such as a history of tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, or a previous diagnosis, more frequent screenings might be recommended.

What are the benefits of preventive dental care?

Preventive care is the foundation of lifelong oral health. At Flatiron Dental, Dr. Arti Jagirdar emphasizes routine visits and consistent at-home care as a way to protect your smile—and your overall well-being. These visits allow us to detect concerns like cavities, gum disease, or even early signs of oral cancer before they require more complex treatment. Early care is often simpler, more comfortable, and more cost-effective in the long run.
‍
Beyond your teeth and gums, good oral health plays a role in whole-body wellness, with links to heart health, diabetes, and more. And by staying ahead of issues, you’re also avoiding the need for extensive dental work later. With regular cleanings and check-ups, you can feel confident knowing your smile is healthy, vibrant, and well cared for.

How often should I see the dentist in New York?

Most patients benefit from seeing the dentist every six months. These routine visits allow Dr. Jagirdar to monitor your oral health, provide professional cleanings, and identify any concerns before they progress. However, your needs may vary. Patients with a history of gum disease, a higher risk for decay, or ongoing medical conditions may benefit from more frequent visits.

In a busy place like New York, it's easy to postpone dental care—but maintaining a consistent schedule helps preserve your oral health and prevents small issues from turning into bigger problems. Your visits also give you a chance to ask questions, receive personalized recommendations, and enjoy a moment of care amid the city’s fast pace.

Do you offer sedation dentistry for clients with dental anxiety?

Yes. We understand that visiting the dentist can bring up anxiety for many people, and our team is here to make your experience as calm and comfortable as possible. Flatiron Dental offers sedation options tailored to your comfort level and the type of procedure.

Dr. Jagirdar works closely with each patient to understand their concerns and recommend the most appropriate approach. Whether you’re coming in for a routine cleaning or a more involved treatment, our goal is to help you feel at ease from start to finish. With a gentle, attentive team and a serene environment, we’re committed to making dental care feel less like a chore—and more like a moment of self-care.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency in New York?

If you're facing a dental emergency, the most important thing is to contact us right away. Flatiron Dental is prepared to help with urgent issues like severe tooth pain, broken or chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, or lost fillings or crowns. Dr. Jagirdar and our team will guide you through the next steps and make space in our schedule for prompt care.

While you wait for your appointment, try to stay calm. If a tooth is knocked out, gently place it back in its socket or keep it moist in milk or saliva. For discomfort, a cold compress or over-the-counter pain relievers can offer temporary relief. Prompt attention not only eases pain but often improves the chances of saving the tooth or restoring your smile with minimal intervention.

What Patients Are Saying

A cross between the best members club and most sympathetic dentist. State of the art tech makes a regular cleaning a spa-like experience, but difficult situations, aesthetic concerns and literally everything in between is treated with a masterful touch. I fly from Miami to visit this dentist!!

Kathryn

Went here for a dental cleaning check up and left feeling refreshed and renewed. Everyone here is especially caring and attentive. Not to mention the aesthetics of this place is top notch. The technology is incredible and made for such a smooth and painless experience! You won’t hear that annoying drill much because they have laser technology that knocks out plaque! I never looked forward to the dentist before until now. Thank you Dr. J and team for always taking the best of me!

Frances

This has been the best dental experience I’ve ever had. From the moment I walked in, the staff was so welcoming and the office decor looks so inviting. The cleaning was so gentle and actually relaxing. I highly recommend this dental office.

Andy

My recent cleaning session at Flatiron Dental was exceptional! The office is beautifully designed and offers high-quality amenities. The doctor, hygienist, and staffs are phenomenal, explaining procedures thoroughly and showing great skills. I highly recommend this practice for top-notch dental care.

Maribel

By far the best dental practice I have ever been to! From start to finish everyone was extremely welcoming, thoughtful and thorough - IMO going well beyond typical oral care (do you have a cavity? Are your gums healthy?). In addition to cleaning, my visit covered more of a holistic approach looking into how my oral heath can also influence sleeping habits, breathing etc. Would definitely recommend to others!

Lexi

I’ve never enjoyed going to the dentist before and it feels weird to say I do, but I look forward to visiting here. I get to skip work for an hour, experience a beautifully designed space, the staff are very kind and professional and Dr. Arti is very knowledgeable and focused on preventative care. The new technology they use for dental cleanings actually makes them faster and mostly painless. I recommend Flatiron to everyone I know in the area.

Ashling

Loved my experience at Flatiron Dental! The receptionists were helpful, and my hygienist Natasha was friendly, informative, and thorough with my cleaning. The team was able to give me tactical steps to also reduce my clicking / popping jaw. Dr. Jagirdar answered any questions I had about my jaw, cleaning, and steps I can take to keep my teeth clean.

Kyle

Such an amazing experience at Flatiron Dental! From the moment you walk in to throughout the cleaning, Dr. Jagirdar and team make you feel comfortable. The cleaning was one of the best ones I’ve had and so educational. Would absolutely come back.

Paige

Look no further for a great dentist! Dr. Jagirdar and her staff at Flatiron Dental are so warm and extremely professional. I am no fan of getting work done on my teeth (cleaning, cavities filled, etc.) but Dr. Jagirdar made the experience pleasant. She walks you through the process and cares for your personal comfort and well being. 5 stars!

Christine

Flatiron Dental is an amazing spot to keep your chompers in good shape - the best I’ve been to given a lifetime in New York City. The office is run like clockwork: they’re highly responsive; I’ve never waited for more than a couple of minutes to be seen, and Dr. Jagirdar has both an extremely comfortable cleaning technique, and is very confidence inspiring when it comes to discussing future procedures.

Jette

Amazing experience! My latest cleaning session at Flatiron Dental was exceptional! The staff was very very friendly and the doctor was the best dentist I have ever been to. I highly recommend this practice!

E.

Jagirdar was kind and spent much more time with me than any other dentist has. She made sure to answer any questions I had and talk through any concerns. The cleaning was easy and didn’t hurt at all. You’ll never see a prettier dental office.
