Preventive Care
The most important dental care our patients are encouraged to follow is keeping up with their regular dental checkups and preventive cleanings.

How Does Dental Preventive Care Work?
New patients are always started up with a full set of x-rays referred to as FMX to set a baseline and point of examination. A preventative care not only cleans your teeth of calculus and any other buildups, it is an examination of potential decay, the health of your gums, oral cancer exams, your bite, and any other anomalies of your oral health.
How Often Should This Be Done?
It varies from one patient to another. Most patients that do not have gum issues have twice a year preventative care visits. This above the gum line cleaning is referred to as Prophylaxis care. In some patients, this may have to be done more than twice a year.
The other type of care which is done below the gum line and is performed once every three months. This preventative care is called periodontal maintenance. Before the start of periodontal cleaning, a deep gum level cleaning is performed which is called periodontal scaling and root planing.
All hygienists in Dr. Baidabadi’s practice schedule the follow-up visit at the end of each visit to make sure all of our patients keep up with their regular checkups.
Excellent Job Cleaning My Teeth
“I have been going to Dr. Bidabadi for about 2 years now and they are not only the nicest staff, but they do an excellent job cleaning my teeth and making me feel comfortable. I had my first cavity ever last year and was freaking out like a baby when I saw the Novocaine needle, but the dentist made it a relaxing, pain free experience. They explained each step and even held my hand when I was nervous. I even got to see before and after shots of my tooth after the procedure was done!"

Terrific – Friendly, Helpful, And Skilled
“My husband and I have been going to Dr. Bidabadi for over 10 years. She is the best! She will encourage you to take steps to improve both the health and appearance of your teeth, but is never overly aggressive or sales-y about either. Her staff is also terrific – friendly, helpful, and skilled. I hope that Dr. Bidabadi is in practice for many, many more years!"

BY FAR The Best I’ve Ever Had
“ have an EXTREME hatred for dentists. I usually wish bad things upon them (dramatized for effect, of course) … until I met Dr. Bidabadi. She is wonderful. Beyond amazing. My hero. She is patient with annoying people like me who have panic attacks over cavity fillings (no joke). I have been to many dentists over the years and she is BY FAR the best I’ve ever had."
Jamie J., Jamaica Plain., | Boston, MA
Dr. Bidabadi Went Above And Beyond
“Once again, Dr. Bidabadi went above and beyond to provide the best dental care. I have been her patient for 15 years and even though I live 35 miles away, I continue to see her and her staff. Went yesterday for quick appointment and when she discovered a problem in another tooth, she worked through her lunch hour to treat me so that I wouldn't have to make a separate long trip. I trust Dr. B and her practice 100%. Wish she would move north of Boston!"
