As a friendly reminder, if you have dental treatment you’ve put on hold, now may be a good time to schedule an appointment to maximize your insurance benefits.
Even if you don’t need extensive treatment, you should schedule a regular check up and cleaning appointment to help prevent costly procedures in the future. You’re probably paying a monthly premium to keep your insurance, so be sure to use it before the year end!
Now may also be a good time to use any remaining flexible account dollars. Flexible accounts are created to set aside pre-tax dollars for medical and dental expenses, but if that money is not used before the end of the year, it is lost to you forever.
Our holiday season does book quickly, so call us today at (908) 998-4698 to schedule your appointment. If you have any questions about your insurance coverage or benefits, we would be happy to help you. We look forward to seeing you!

This Halloween, let the kids enjoy the festivities without harboring guilt about all those sweet sugary treats they will be collecting. Check out our “tricks” for protecting your kids’ teeth without depriving them the fun of getting dressed up and going door-to-door for candy!
Trick-or-Treat … Not Trick-or-EAT Before heading out today – explain to your little trick-or-treaters that they shouldn’t eat candy while on the go. To be safe, a responsible adult should inspect all collected goodies before any are consumed. This will also reduce the amount of treats the kids will eat, and allow everyone to enjoy the activity instead of bickering over what can and can’t be eaten. After you get home, designate a specific time each day – optimally following a meal or snack time – that one or two pieces of candy can be enjoyed.
Send a Sweet Message Teaching your children the lesson of “everything in moderation” is an extremely important one, especially when it comes to sweets, since you don’t want to create a negative association. Halloween is a great time to enforce this idea, so once you get home go through their candy-cache along with the kids and let them pick a specific amount of items to keep and enjoy. Then, be sure to remove the rest of the candy quickly!
Choose wisely Not all candy is created equal, especially when it comes to impacting oral health. The worst offenders are sugary treats that are either sticky or long-lasting, such as gummy bears and lollipops. Hard candies are doubly bad since they can also cause broken or chip teeth. Encourage your kids to remove these items from their baskets – or better yet not pick them up at all!

Need yet another reason to take good care of your teeth? They may be around A LOT longer than you think!
The recent discovery of ancient fossilized teeth in a cave in South China has disproven the long-held belief that humans did not live in Asia prior to 50,000 years ago.
Scientists on Wednesday announced the discovery of teeth between 80,000 and 120,000 years old that they say provide the earliest evidence of fully modern humans outside Africa.
Earlier this month, Dr. Oshidar held an educational seminar for other dentists. The two-day event consisted of Dr. Oshidar teaching the latest technology and updates in science and implant dentistry.
Roselle Park Dental hosted other doctors from around the country – the day was an extreme success!
