Frequently Asked Questions

How does the doctor keep up to date on all of the current techniques and materials? Can you show me what my smile can look like ahead of time with imaging software? Do you accept referrals? What payment options do you provide? How may I ask Dr. Gianino questions directly? What makes you different than other dental practices I can visit? Crowns, veneers, onlays, inlays, implants, and partials… Where can I learn more about these procedures? Do I have to floss every day? Is it really that important? I want my front teeth to look better, but I do not want to wear braces. What would you recommend? What is a smile design?

Do I have to floss every day? Is it really that important?

Yes. Research in both medicine and dentistry has concluded that diseases of the gums, especially at advanced stages (otherwise known as periodontal disease), significantly increases an individual’s risk of developing systemic diseases of the major organs. Flossing, when performed correctly, removes plaque accumulations between the teeth and under the gums. Healthy gum tissue also contributes to decreased tooth decay.
