A few tips to stay healthy this cold season, from dr. sal zammitti

  • Zammitti & Gidaly Orthodontics
  • March 12, 2010
Just when you think spring has almost arrived, you remember it’s still cold and flu season. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, has provided a few tips on how to know if you’ve caught the common cold:* Sneezing
* Stuffy or runny nose
* Sore throat
* Coughing
* Watery eyes
* Mild headache
* Mild body aches

To promote a healthy and clean environment, Dr. Zammitti and our professional team give a great deal of attention to sanitation and sterilization in our office at all times, as well as following all requirements for sterilizing instruments and work surfaces. For the protection of other patients and our staff, we always ask that patients reschedule their appointments if they have any type of cold or illness that can infect others.

And remember to constantly wash your hands and avoid contact with those who are ill! Have a great weekend!

I had an amazing experience at Zammitti & Gidaly office today! Dr. Gidaly very professional and took the time to explain everything clearly. I had several questions, and he patiently answered each one.
Karen made the entire visit extra special she was professional, kind, and so much fun to be around. We laughed through my x-rays and she even made discussing my payment plan easy and stress-free.
I would highly recommend Dr. Gidaly office to anyone looking to get their teeth straightened or any dental work done. I’m so happy with my decision and can’t wait to get my braces put in!

Laura C.
This team truly takes care of people. Karen was so kind and one of the most knowledgeable people I’ve ever been helped by at an office. She was able to answer a lot of detailed questions not only about options, processes annd procedures, but also complex insurance changes and difficult timing I needed to navigate. She gave me a clear and transparent quote with ease. Both Karen and Dr. Gidaly are also very compassionate and went out of their way to help me problem-solve another dental issue I was having that had nothing to do with the work they had signed on to do. Dr. Gidaly went as far as calling me from his personal cell when he was off to check in, answer questions, help come up with a plan and let me know that I could reach out to him at any time. It can be really hard to find providers who are both highly skilled AND compassionate. This office is both. Highly recommend!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Laura! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Karen and Dr. Gidaly. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate and knowledgeable care. We appreciate your recommendation!
Tecina H.

Importance of Regular Dental Checkups

Regular dental checkups are essential for maintaining overall oral health. By visiting Dr. Zammitti and his team for routine exams and cleanings, you can prevent potential dental issues and catch any problems early on. These checkups also allow for the removal of plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to cavities and gum disease if left untreated.

During your dental checkup, Dr. Zammitti will evaluate your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. He may also take x-rays to ensure that there are no underlying issues that need to be addressed. By staying consistent with your dental checkups, you can enjoy a healthy smile for years to come.

Tips for Maintaining Oral Hygiene at Home

In addition to regular dental checkups, it's important to practice good oral hygiene at home. This includes brushing your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and using mouthwash to help eliminate bacteria. It's also essential to maintain a healthy diet by limiting sugary foods and beverages that can contribute to tooth decay.

Dr. Zammitti and his team can provide guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques to ensure that you are effectively cleaning your teeth and gums. By following these tips for maintaining oral hygiene at home, you can help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues, leading to a healthier smile overall.
