MOUTHGUARDS protect more than your smile

February 28, 2019
YOU KNOW THE ROUTINE for maintaining a healthy mouth and encouraging kids to brush and floss regularly. For athletes, preparing for sports also includes protecting their mouths from trauma during play and competition. Equipping your kids with a mouthguard will not only protect their teeth, but also their jaw, lips, tongue and cheeks. Mouthguards have also been shown to help prevent head and neck injuries as well as concussions.

Testimonials

Ira Spiro has been my dentist for 17 years. He is an excellent doctor. In addition to being a knowledgeable expert, he is conscientious and easy to talk to. He takes his time to talk through options and LISTEN to my concerns. While using up-to-date techniques in a modern office, his personal, friendly manner hearkens back to a less-rushed, less corporate era of family dentists.

I have been a patient of Dr. Spiro’s for over 15 years. My wife and 3 children are also his patients. I’ve been very pleased with his work and of his staff. For example, last year, I needed a root canal and a crown. During an office visit, Dr. Spiro thoroughly explained to me in language I could understand why I needed the work done. He also described my options in terms of costs and his recommendation on when the work should be done. His staff also worked with my insurance carrier so I could anticipate what my costs would be for the entire procedure. I felt I was part of the decision process and was very satisfied with the outcome.

I appreciate Dr. Spiro’s honesty and his ability to explain things so I can understand them. He has also been very flexible accommodating my busy schedule. I trust him and his staff to take care of my entire family’s dental needs.
