TRUE OR FALSE? The more often you visit the dentist, the more money you save. TRUE—and here’s why: Regular checkups and cleanings catch cavities and other issues early, preventing costly treatments like root canals, gum disease treatment, or tooth extractions.
Even if a cavity doesn’t cause pain, addressing it early makes all the difference. A simple, affordable filling using today’s advanced, and invisible materials not only restores your dental health but keeps your natural teeth healthy & lasting longer!
Waiting is risky. Cavities don’t pause while you wait for insurance, savings, or pain—they keep growing. By the time you’re ready, that small, inexpensive fix will have escalated into a costly, and more invasive problem. Treat cavities while they’re small to save time, money, and to protect your teeth
you'll be cavity-free in no time
Cavities:
There are two kinds of cavities. Cavities on the outside surface and cavities between the teeth. Below is an example of a cavity between the teeth. When a patient eats sugar the germs in their mouth eat the sugar too and turn it into acid that eats a hole in the tooth. Once the hole starts more and more germs get into the hole and they make more acid and the cavity gets deeper and deeper and no amount of brushing or flossing can stop it.The only way to prevent this from happening is to eat sugar less often and use dental floss or an oral irrigator to clean between the teeth.
Here's the truth about cavities & fillings
- At-home dental care isn’t enough; regular dental visits and professional cleanings are essential to reducing your risk of cavities.
- Old silver fillings can start leaking over time. We recommend replacing them with advanced, long-lasting, and safe materials we use today.
- Treating cavities early saves time and money. Don’t wait for insurance, pain, or savings—cavities grow and lead to more costly, invasive treatments.
- Most cavities don’t show symptoms, so regular exams are crucial for early detection. Sometimes, it’s more than just a cavity. The best way to know what you need is with an accurate diagnosis.
- No dentist can do every treatment by themselves. That's why, at Dental Care of Stamford, we offer the convenience of having all dental specialists in one location, ready to analyze your case, provide the best options, and complete your treatment— all under one roof!

To Whom it May Concern,
I have been going to Dental Care of Stamford for 15 years. I had previously been going to a dentist elsewhere in Fairfield county for six years until a filling was overfilled and … More split my moler.
The team at Dental Care is unsurpassed. They combine consummate professionalism with welcoming warmth.
Over the years I have interacted with many there. My first contact was with Dr. Simon, the indefatigable leader of this thriving practice. At every juncture of my evolving needs, Dr. Simon brought together the right team for me: Paula, Mimi, and Doctor Rools, among other highly competent members of the Dental Care team – too numerous to mention. They are like family.
When a more serious need required two surgeries, Dr. Simon conferred with the dental surgeon, Dr. Rools, to formulate my plan. Dr. Rools is one of the most gentle, calming doctors I have ever met. He carefully explained the procedures and invited my husband to join discussions of the operations so that he could answer any questions we had, also attending to my fears.
I feel grateful to live near enough to Dental Care of Stamford to be able to be in their unparalleled care.

I need to give a shout out to 3 amazing people that helped me through an extraction of my Molar. Dr Rools was the man. A beast! He calmly got that dam tooth out with a great bed side manner. But … More he didn’t do it alone… there was dear ‘ole Nelly that provided confidence that all will be ok.. especially the nitrous oxide! Amazing. Lastly there was Mimi.. she was awesome. She stood by my side and even held my hand when they were literally jack hammering my tooth. If felt like a rock quarry in my mouth. But I couldn’t have asked for a better 3 person crew. I hope you never need a tooth extraction .. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy ..( maybe ). But If you do then make sure it’s these 3 superstars ! J

My first time at Dental Care and the experience was so great! Joanne did an amazing job with cleaning and Dr. Patel did my fillings in the front to perfection. Oh and Mimi you did an incredible job with … More budgeting, we worked out my financing so smooth. Thank you so much Mimi, you really made me feel comfortable, customer service was beyond top tier. Finally found a Dental home.
