As a general dentist in Bethesda, Dr. Hornstein cares for patients of all ages, from children to senior citizens. What's the best way to deter cavities and oral disease? Visit us for a checkup and professional cleaning every six months. Dr. Hornstein also cares for special needs patients.
At your checkup and cleaning visit, our hygienist will inspect your soft tissues for signs of gum disease and oral cancer. These two serious conditions often cause no pain or discomfort in the early stages. Oral cancer claims 7,500 American lives each year. Gum disease causes increased risk for heart disease, respiratory problems, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia. It also promotes complications for diabetics and pregnant women. Many people think that postponing a dental checkup isn't a big deal. In reality, early detection of oral cancer and gum disease could save your life.
Our services address your needs in various stages of life. For instance, children benefit from preventive sealants and supplemental fluoride. Athletes, young and mature, need a protective mouthguard to wear during games. We also offer conservative therapy for sleep apnea/snoring and TMJ/headaches.
