New patient exams provide a roadmap for your oral health care plan.
During a new patient exam you'll meet Dr. Kostyrko and discuss your personal oral health needs and desires. After a thorough examination, he will discuss his findings with you and determine the personalized approach that will work best for you. We’ll set up a regular care schedule, design a treatment plan, and if you're interested, discuss your cosmetic options.

🛑 Nail biters, this one’s for you! 🛑

Your nails might look clean… but they can hide dangerous bacteria like E. coli and salmonella 🤢
So what really happens when you bite your nails?
👇👇👇

🦷 Bacteria & Infections: Biting transfers harmful germs from your nails to your mouth and gut—hello, stomach issues.
🦷 Chipped Teeth: This habit can literally break your smile.
🦷 Jaw Pain: Constant nail biting puts your jaw in a strained position, potentially causing long-term jaw problems.
🦷 Tooth Grinding (Bruxism): Nail biters are more likely to grind their teeth, which can lead to:
✅ Headaches
✅ Facial pain
✅ Receding gums
✅ Tooth sensitivity
✅ Even tooth loss!
⸻
⭐️ PRO TIP:
Want to kick the habit? Try:
✔️ Bitter-tasting nail polish
✔️ Stress-reduction techniques
✔️ Keeping your hands busy (fidget toy, pen, etc.)
✔️ Setting small, realistic goals
