April brings a few exciting celebrations to our office! We will be celebrating Alison and Kay this week for Hygienist Appreciation Week. Additionally, we will be celebrating Pat, Jill, Kelly, Susan, & Shari for Administrative Professionals Day on April 27th. All these people are vital parts of our practice, and we can't say enough good things about them.
April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month. Since most of our patients are under the age of 18, oral cancer does not come up often. Schedule regular visits with Dr. Azadpur and we will monitor your child's oral health at each visit. However, some of the symptoms you should be checking for are a lip or mouth sore that doesn’t heal, a white or reddish patch on the inside of your mouth, loose teeth, a growth or lump inside your mouth, mouth pain, ear pain, and difficult/painful swallowing.
We suggest that you continuously pay attention to anything in your child's mouth that does not look right or does not heal in a timely manner. Give us a call if you are concerned and be prepared to take a picture of the affected area for Dr. Azadpur to see.
This month we are introducing a new service. We are so excited to introduce our newest technology: dental laser!! This amazing device will eliminate drills, needles, and numbness and will help us to provide gentle and virtually pain-free treatments. Healing time will be much faster too, and your child will be able to resume their activities directly following their treatment!
As a quick refresher, we are still requiring masks and temperature checks in the office and your appointments need to be confirmed ahead of time. Good news! We have unlocked the door to the reception area and no longer ask that you call when you arrive.
If you are looking to schedule an appointment, the best way to do so is by calling the office or sending an appointment request via our website and someone will call you back as soon as possible. We are booking out about 3 months, although last minute openings do occur so you may get lucky!
We are so happy to see signs of spring everywhere! Warmer weather, flowers beginning to peek up from the ground, and garden centers stocking up on inventory. The long winter is finally over!
