Wishing a HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all of the moms in our Maple Avenue Family!

Spring into a Brighter Smile We can officially say goodbye to winter and finally enjoy some sunshine and warm weather. For many of us, that means it’s time to start improving our image. A strong, healthy smile is one of the simplest ways to make a huge impact. Looking for a new job, getting married, want to look your

Dr. Andrea Barone and his team of highly-qualified professionals blend personalized service, state-of-the-art-technology, and clinical expertise to coordinate the right treatments to get you looking and feeling your best!

Cosmetic Dentistry and Orthodontics A steadfast fixture in Rhode Island’s East Bay community, our premier dental cosmetic and specialty care practice strives for excellence. Since his ownership began in 2007, Dr. Andrea Barone strives to provide comprehensive solutions to whiten, re-contour, repair, strengthen, and restore symmetry to your smiling face. When problems occur with the appearance of your teeth, you have two options, orthodontics or cosmetic dentistry. We offer both in one convenient location!

Dr. John Ruel, an expert in full-mouth rehabilitation, continues to see our most complex cases with consistent hours. Dr. Brad Turchetta and Dr. Michael Kacewicz from RI Orthodontic Group see patients right here in our office, making scheduling and coordinating treatments a breeze. With such a great response, they have decided to offer additional hours to our patients. Considering veneers instead of straightening?

Dental Check-Ups for the Whole Family From buying organic to hitting the gym, we are making wiser, more health conscious choices for our bodies. Here at Maple Avenue Family Dentistry, we want to remind you that your oral health is our top priority and should be yours too! With college students returning home, now is a a great time to inquire about the preventative extraction of wisdom teeth, which erupt between the ages of 16 and 21. Dr. Robert Bouffard, leading implant provider and retired naval commander, maintains regular hours here at Maple Avenue. In addition to the safe and effective removal of wisdom teeth, Dr. Bouffard also treats patients for periodontal, implant, and surgical procedures. All procedures and post-operative care take place right here in-office. Call today to schedule a consultation. Summer appointments fill quickly!

Group Of Runners On Suburban Street Congratulations to all of the runners and volunteers who brought their bright smiles to this year’s Nayatt 5K Road Race and Kids’ Fun Run. We were so proud to help sponsor this race, which helped raise money for local kid programs. See you again next year!

Courtesy Note to Parents: Maple Avenue Family Dentistry is proud to offer many services to both children and adults. We continue to do all we can to have appointments run timely and efficiently, and offer convenient evening and Saturday hours to accommodate our patients’ demanding schedules. A dentist is always on call for emergencies, and most dental insurances are accepted. Please remember, however, that children below the age of 18 cannot be dropped off and left without an adult present to first check in and speak with the dentist/orthodontist. Thank you!

TOOTHY TIDBITS

  • There’s wisdom in having that tooth removed! Oral surgeons warn that even when young people are not experiencing pain or discomfort in their third molars (wisdom teeth), they may have infection or inflammation. Numerous studies have found that adults who keep their wisdom teeth tend to have continued problems over time compared to those who have them removed.
  • Proper dental care is extremely important for a mother during pregnancy. Because the body undergoes a surge of hormones during this time, many women experience dental problems. Gums can become more sensitive to the bacteria in plaque, causing bleeding and inflammation. This gingivitis (periodontal disease) has been linked to premature births and low birth weight. Brushing, flossing regularly, and receiving proper dental care is crucial to prevent and ease these symptoms.
