Post Treatment

Care for Preventative Dental Care

It's normal for some to experience minor tooth sensitivity for up to three days after their treatment. If you experience any severe or prolonged sensitivity, please contact our office. All whitening procedures eventually wear off, and teeth gradually return to a darker shade. So, you may want to touch up your teeth occasionally. We can help you determine what maintenance program you should follow, if any. Of course, one of the best ways to preserve your new, brighter smile is to keep up with regularly scheduled professional cleanings!

For the first 48 hours, you should avoid excessively hot or cold foods or beverages and anything that would stain a white t-shirt, as your teeth will be especially vulnerable to staining. This includes: Red Meat, Soy Sauce, Coffee or Tea, Fruits (they're naturally acidic, and darker fruits, like berries, stain), Tomatoes (including sauce and juice), Dark vegetables (e.g., beets, spinach), Colas, Foods containing dyes or artificial coloring, Bananas, Milk, Yogurt, Fish, Chicken, White bread, Light vegetables (e.g., cauliflower), White Wine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you treat children?

Yes, at Family and Cosmetic Dentistry of Staten Island, we welcome patients of all ages, including children. Our team ensures every visit is gentle, positive, and stress-free. We focus on creating healthy habits early for lifelong oral health.

Why do you recommend deep cleanings?

Deep cleanings help treat and prevent gum disease by removing bacteria below the gumline. They promote healthier gums and stronger teeth. Regular deep cleanings also reduce the risk of tooth loss over time.

How often should I schedule a dental checkup?

We recommend visiting every six months for routine exams and cleanings. Regular visits allow us to detect issues early and prevent costly treatments later. Your dentist may suggest more frequent visits if needed.

Do I need X-rays at every visit?

Not always. X-rays are taken based on your dental history and current needs. They help us spot hidden problems, ensuring your teeth and gums stay healthy.

What are sealants, and do I need them?

Sealants are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They help prevent cavities, especially in children and teens. This quick, painless treatment keeps teeth healthier for longer.

I’ve been a patient here for over 20 years, and they’ve taken care of everything from my fillings to cleanings, cavities, and yes… even root canals (plural, lol) all without a single moment of pain. From the receptionist to the hygienists to the dentists, the whole team is patient, communicative, and very honest.The patient examination rooms including the bathrooms and patient waiting areas are very clean. Even after moving away from Staten Island, I still come back because the trust, comfort, and consistency they provide are unmatched. Hands down, the best dentist I’ve ever had! They keep my smile pretty and bright.
