Looking for a top family dentist near you? Our Philosophy & Approach to FAMILY Dentistry
Family or general dentistry is an integral part of healthcare that focuses on the overall health of the teeth and mouth. While many people may think of dentistry as simply a way to clean and whiten their teeth, general dentistry encompasses a wide range of services and treatments designed to promote healthy teeth and gums, prevent oral health issues, and correct any problems that may arise.
At Fridman Family Dental Care, our dentists are skilled professionals who have undergone extensive education and training in order to provide high-quality care to their patients. We use a variety of techniques and technologies, including X-rays, cleanings, fillings, and extractions, to diagnose and treat a wide range of dental conditions.
What sets Fridman Family Dental Care apart is the unique way in which we combine art and science. Our dentists not only have a thorough understanding of the latest research and techniques, but they also have a keen eye for aesthetics and the ability to create natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with a patient’s smile.

Dental cleanings are crucial for maintaining oral health and preventing a variety of dental problems. Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup that daily brushing and flossing cannot eliminate, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
During a cleaning, your dentist can also identify early signs of dental issues, such as tooth decay or oral cancer, allowing for prompt treatment. Additionally, professional cleanings help maintain fresh breath and ensure that teeth and gums stay healthy, contributing to overall well-being.
Regular dental cleanings are an essential part of a comprehensive oral care routine, promoting a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Gum disease and prevention
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums and the tissue that surrounds and support the teeth. It is caused by the buildup of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, on the teeth. There are two main stages of gum disease: gingivitis and periodontitis.
Gingivitis is the milder form of gum disease and is characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums. It can usually be reversed with proper oral hygiene.
Periodontitis is a more advanced form of gum disease, in which the gums pull away from the teeth and form pockets that become infected. This can lead to the loss of tissue and bone, which can ultimately result in the loss of teeth.
At Fridman Family Dental Care, we focus on preventing gum disease which involves good oral hygiene, including:
- Brushing your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste
- Cleaning between your teeth daily with floss or interdental cleaners
- Eating a balanced diet and limiting sugary snacks
- Visiting your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and checkups
Additionally, quitting smoking or using any form of tobacco products would be a great way to avoid gum disease and other oral health issues. If you already have gum disease, your dentist or periodontist may recommend a specific treatment plan, which might include scaling and root planing (a deep cleaning) and/or other types of therapy.

“I’ve been coming here for about a year…Overall, I’ve had great experiences with my cleanings and I feel very comfortable with Dr. Fridman’s care. She is honest and provides helpful preventive care advice for overall oral care. My entire family comes to see her as well and they have also recommended her to friends and family. I had a dental emergency recently and they were able to fit me in same day and see what the issue was. It gave me peace of mind to know they are very accommodating in a stressful time…”
“Dr. Fridman and her team are the best! They are very caring and thoughtful and take the time to listen to what you have to say. Justin is my hygienist and he is AMAZING! He is careful with my sensitive teeth and I appreciate it so much!”
“I’m so delighted with Fridman Family Dental! The staff is friendly and welcoming, the service is excellent, and the doctor really cares. Dr. Fridman takes the time to explain everything, AND she has a sense of humor! She even makes getting anesthetic virtually painless! Do yourself and your family a favor: go see Dr. Fridman. You won’t be sorry.”
“Dr.Nardys Fridman and her team provided the most amazing experience! I was extremely nervous after avoiding seeing a dentist due to a previous unpleasant experience. After my visit, I highly recommend Dr. Nardys. Her entire office team is also very friendly, warm and professional.”
“Im a new patient, however I’ve been at the clinic now 3 times for a general check up, fillings, veneer replacements. The staff are incredible and the dentists even more so. The procedures were painless (with well placed lidocaine), and even after I had a slight complaint about a sharp filling, they were more than happy to correct it. My teeth feel great now. Aesthetically speaking, the office looks and smells like a beach resort…I highly recommend and am actively trying to convince my family members to switch offices.”
