Start with what you've noticed
You don't need to know the dental term or choose a treatment before you call. Tell us what feels different, when you notice it, and what you'd like help with. Dr. Maiurano will listen, examine the area, and explain what she finds.
Teeth sensitive to cold or heat
If a sip of coffee or cold water makes you wince, bring it up. Sensitivity can have several causes; an examination helps us work out what needs attention. What to tell us about sensitivity.
Gums that bleed when you brush
Bleeding or tenderness is worth a conversation, even if your teeth feel fine. We check your gums and ask about your health and home care before recommending next steps. How we check gum health.
A mouth that often feels dry
Dryness can make eating and talking uncomfortable. Tell us how often it happens and bring your medication list. We can discuss protecting your teeth and whether to involve your doctor. Discussing dry mouth at your visit.
Chewing doesn't feel comfortable
A tender tooth, food catching in the same spot, or a change in how your teeth meet deserves a closer look. Tell us what you're noticing, even if it's hard to describe. Checking teeth and chewing comfort.
If you've noticed grinding, clenching, or tooth wear, we can evaluate that too. An examination comes before a recommendation for a guard.
For tooth pain, a broken tooth, or a lost crown, read our guidance on getting help and call the office.
