Cleaning | Comprehensive Exam | Flouride Treatment | Oral Cancer Screening
The American Dental Association recommends you see your dentist every six months. Preventive dental care can help you reduce or avoid future costs by preventing and finding potential issues sooner. Because many diseases and conditions first show signs in your mouth, good dental health and a strong relationship with your dental office are important steps in your overall health
The doctor will review all findings and discuss possible treatment options to help you achieve the smile you deserve.
Fluoride can be an important part of preventing tooth decay in patients of all ages. During your visit, we will determine your risk for dental decay by discussing your diet, home care, previous decay history, illnesses and prescription medications. Fluoride treatment can be done in the office, or at home.
In the office: Treatment can be done during your regular exam using a tray with gel or foam fluoride. A more highly concentrated fluoride varnish that is brushed onto your teeth can also be used.
At home: Options for fluoride treatment include prescription toothpastes or a daily rinse. It is important to follow all recommendations made by your dentist and to also be aware of the fluoride levels in your water.
Oral cancer can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. Metro Dental Associates provides oral cancer screenings as part of your regular dental exam. There are two main risk factors for oral cancer. Smoking and tobacco use are long-term historic causes of oral cancer. In addition, the HPV-16 virus, a sexually-transmitted disease, is resulting in the fastest-growing segment of oral cancer patients being young, healthy, nonsmoking individuals.
When found early, oral cancers have an 80 to 90 percent survival rate. Dentists can be a first line of defense in identifying abnormalities in the mouth, which could be a sign of oral cancer.

Before finding Metro Dental which at that time was 5 minutes from my office, my experience with dentists was less than stellar. Rough hands, inconsistent experiences across hygenists and an abrupt front office staff. Metro Dental has shined in all aspects and is now the North Star of dentistry. Even the oral surgeons they recommended are awesome! Rachel and Susan, Dr. Sacco and the hygienists and assistants are all across the board friendly and responsive and caring and thorough. Thank you Metro Dental!!
Never thought I’d be excited to leave a 5-star review for a dentist, but here we are. Great people, great experience, and somehow they make going to the dentist actually enjoyable. Everyone is friendly, professional, and makes you feel completely comfortable from the second you walk in.
If you’re looking for a dentist you don’t dread visiting, this is the place. Highly recommend!
Great experience! Definitely made my smile even better! Dr. Banda and his assistant carefully analyzed my case so they can provide the best solution and dental healh care. They are not only concerned on how it will look but also on how it would heal. They would always check on how you are during the procedure which helped a lot with the anxiety. The ladies in the receiving desk are so helpful too.
