My teeth were very crooked and I wanted a better smile. I had seen Dr. Haywood in a magazine and decided to see what could be done. I chose veneers and some minor cosmetic gum surgery because I really did not want braces in my 20s! The results speak for themselves. I would recommend Dr.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I schedule a routine check-up?

It’s recommended that you schedule a dental check-up and professional cleaning at Southern York Smile Care twice a year, or every six months. This allows us to eliminate any plaque or bacteria build-up in difficult areas your toothbrush simply can’t reach. Routine check-ups also prevent additional oral health issues, such as cavities, gum disease, and even tooth loss.

I think I suffer from TMJ disorder. What do I do?

If you think you’re suffering from TMJ disorder, also known as TMD, it’s important not to worry. Give us a call at (717) 235-3871 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Haywood at your earliest convenience. We’ll examine your TMJ for irregularities and assess your joint health to detect any signs of TMD. This is an essential part of our thorough restorative approach to dental care. Once you’ve been diagnosed with TMD, Dr. Haywood can determine an effective treatment plan after identifying your alignment issues. We offer various treatment methods including occlusal equilibration, deprogramming splints, sleep analysis, and more.

What is considered a dental emergency?

Any problem that requires immediate care to save a tooth, stop bleeding, or relieve severe pain is considered a dental emergency. This includes chipped, cracked, broken, and knocked out teeth, along with toothaches and mouth injuries. Other signs that you may need emergency treatment can include an abscessed or missing tooth, nerve damage, extreme pain, and lacerations inside the mouth. If you’re experiencing any of the following, call us immediately at (717) 235-3871 and we’ll give you the care you need.

I’m afraid of the dentist. How can you help?

For patients suffering from dental anxiety or fear, we offer sedation dentistry to help you feel relaxed and worry-free during your visit. Our Shrewsbury office features two methods of treatment, oral conscious sedation and general anesthesia depending on your individual needs. Both sedation options are safe, effective, and allow our dentists to provide you with the care you need in a comfortable environment.
