At New York General Dentistry, we believe your oral health can impact your overall health. Wellness dentistry looks beyond the teeth and gums to understand how oral health affects the rest of the body. By focusing on prevention, balance, and comfort, we help patients maintain healthy smiles that support long-term wellness.
The Oral Biome: The Foundation of Health
Your mouth is home to millions of good and bad bacteria, known as the oral microbiome. When these bacteria are balanced, they help protect your teeth and gums. When they’re not, inflammation can spread and may affect other areas of the body, such as the heart or digestive system. At New York General Dentistry, we focus on keeping your oral biome in balance with gentle cleanings and personalized hygiene recommendations that help support your total-body health.
Gentle, Effective Biofilm Management with EMS Airflow
Biofilm is a sticky layer of bacteria that naturally forms on teeth and gums. If it builds up, it can lead to inflammation and gum disease. We use the EMS Airflow system, an advanced cleaning technology that effectively removes biofilm. Using a fine stream of air, warm water, and powder, this method cleans thoroughly without scraping, leaving your mouth feeling refreshed and healthy.

Breathing, Airway, and the Mouth–Body Connection
How you breathe impacts your sleep, energy, and even your immune system. If your airway is narrow or blocked, it can lead to snoring, fatigue, and other health concerns. During your dental exam, we look for signs of airway issues that might affect your breathing. We offer snoring and Sleep Apnea treatments to improve your health. Identifying these early helps us guide you toward better airflow, improved sleep, and stronger overall health.
Restoring Function and Balance to the TMJ and Teeth
Your jaw joint, called the TMJ, and bite alignment play an important role in how you feel day to day. When things are out of balance, you might notice jaw tension, headaches, or worn teeth. We evaluate how your teeth and jaw work together and, when needed, offer gentle TMJ treatments like Botox, position therapy, splints, and functional adjustments to restore comfort and function, helping you feel more relaxed and aligned.
