How often should I visit the dentist?
For most patients, we recommend a dental cleaning and check-up every six months. Regular visits allow us to detect early signs of cavities, gum disease, or other oral health issues before they become more serious. However, if you have a history of gum disease, diabetes, or frequent dental issues, we may suggest more frequent visits to maintain optimal oral health.
What should I expect during my first appointment?
During your first visit to Brentwood Dental Care, our team will review your dental and medical history, perform a full oral examination, take necessary X-rays, and discuss your goals and concerns. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan designed to achieve your healthiest, most confident smile.
Do you offer affordable dental care or payment plans?
Yes! We believe quality dental care should be accessible to everyone in Bay Shore and Suffolk County. We accept most major insurance plans and also offer flexible payment options and financing. If you don’t have insurance, our friendly team can help you explore options for affordable dental care that fit your budget.
How can I improve my oral health at home?
Good oral hygiene starts with consistent habits:
-
Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
-
Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth.
-
Limit sugary foods and drinks.
-
Schedule professional cleanings every six months.Our dentists also recommend using an antibacterial mouthwash and changing your toothbrush every three months.

What is the difference between preventative and restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry, on the other hand, repairs or replaces damaged or missing teeth using treatments like fillings, crowns, bridges, and implants.
At Brentwood Dental Care, we integrate both approaches to ensure long-lasting oral health.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Absolutely. At Brentwood Dental Care, we use digital X-ray technology that emits very low levels of radiation significantly less than traditional methods. X-rays are essential for detecting hidden problems such as decay between teeth, bone loss, or infections before they become painful or costly.
Do teeth whitening treatments really work?
Yes! Professional teeth whitening is far more effective and longer-lasting than over-the-counter products. Our professional teeth whitening treatments safely lift stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, and aging restoring a radiant smile in just one visit.

We completely understand and you’re not alone. Many patients feel nervous about dental visits. That’s why our caring team prioritizes comfort, communication, and a relaxing environment.
