Richard A Epstein

Medically speaking, our primary responsibility is to address the health and function of your mouth, because it effects the health of your entire body. Inflammation in the oral cavity, which can be controlled by proper home care and regular dental visits, has been linked to cardiovascular and heart disease, diabetes, pregnancy complications, and lowered resistance to many other diseases.

As they say, "You don't have to take my word for it." Below are comments from some of my patients who graciously allowed me to quote them. Also, we welcome you to view our reviews on other platforms, and leave a review of your own! From the bottom of my heart, I can't thank Dr. Epstein enough for creating my bright new smile.

If you have had local anesthetic ("Novocain") the injection site will often be sore or feel swollen for a few days, but this will resolve on its own. If it persists, please make an appointment to let the Doctor examine it. Until full feeling has returned, do not eat anything, or drink anything but cold water, as you could bite or burn your cheek, lip or tongue without knowing it. Most fillings or new restorations on teeth need a few hours to set and don't reach full hardness for 24 hours, so be gentle the first day.
