Excellent treatment, felt super safe and clean in Corona times as well, thank you for everything!
Dr. Trinh made my trip to the dentist extremely enjoyable. She was very professional, upbeat and thoughtful: she took the time to explain me the what and why of each treatments. I got to learn new things besides getting my teeth fixed. I would highly recommend Dr. Trinh to anyone!
Dr. Trinh is fantastic. Capable, friendly, and thorough. Highly recommend.
Phenomenal experience with Viviane the other week! Great attention to detail and I learned a few things about the affects of eating too much bread on my teeth 🙂
I’m so happy with my decision on choosing this Dentist. Literally the best dentist I have ever been to. So gentle and makes you feel at ease. Thank you for making me so comfortable.
Dr. Trinh was amazing. She was very thorough and thoughtful. She crossed every T and dotted every i. She listened to all of my concerns and made my experience a beautiful one. I will be returning.
Dr. Trinh is far and away the best dentist I’ve ever been too. And I used to see one of the best dentists in the Tri-State area. The quality of her work is not only first-rate but when you combine that with her professionalism and friendliness it’s no coincidence she’s at the top of her field. I highly recommend her!
Viviane is an absolute professional and someone who takes her work incredibly seriously. She is thorough, kind, and most of all someone I trust implicitly. I could not be happier with my experience thus far and would recommend her to anybody looking for a top dentist!

What Is Dental Hygiene?
Dental hygiene, or oral hygiene, is all about taking care of your teeth and gums. Good dental hygiene is essential for being able to chew food, speak properly, and to prevent dental problems. Having a healthy smile also boosts your overall appearance and confidence.
Maintaining good dental hygiene includes several activities:
- Brushing twice daily to remove plaque and prevent decay
- Flossing at least once each day
- Eating a healthy diet with nutrients needed for strong teeth, like calcium and vitamin D
- Limiting sugary foods that cause tooth decay
- Getting a checkup every 6 months for a thorough dental cleaning
Remember that the way you brush is important. Improper brushing either doesn’t help much or could cause problems. For example, brushing too hard can damage the gums, while a brief, light brushing won’t do much good. For optimal oral hygiene, brush for 2-3 minutes, using short strokes and a scrubbing motion, and reaching each part of every tooth. If you have any questions about your technique, our dental hygienist will help when you come in for a checkup.
