Just a friendly reminder – if you have dental treatment you’ve put on hold, now is a good time to schedule an appointment to maximize your insurance benefits.
Even if you don’t need extensive treatment, you should schedule a regular checkup and cleaning appointment to help prevent costly procedures in the future. You’re probably paying a monthly premium to keep your insurance, so be sure to use it before the year end!
On November 18th, we held our 5th Annual Community Give Back Day and opened our doors to help neighbors in need of dental services free of charge. We gave away over $12,000 worth of free dentistry, treating over 20 people who received dental care including cleaning, fillings, extractions and x-rays.
Roselle Park Dental is now a clean air and surface zone, using the Beyond Guardian Air with Space Age Technology called ACTIVE PURE, which is made right here in the USA.
ACTIVE PURE removes odor-causing bacteria from the environment. ACTIVE PURE also eliminates mold, mildew, VOCs, viruses, and other contaminants from air and surfaces, which is ideal for anyone who suffers from allergies or asthma and make our office the freshest it’s ever been.
On Sunday, Dr. Oshidar and many of the Roselle Park Dental team members walked for the American Cancer Society to provide support to those touched by breast cancer. They joined 3,000 other walkers at Newport Plaza in Jersey City who cumulatively helped raise $313,600 for the Making Strides of Jersey City event!
Our very own Dr. O was the expert on dental implants at the Benco Dental’s Liberty Open House Conference, which was held earlier this month in Atlantic City.
Dr. O’s course “Technology and Advances in Implant Dentistry” covered advances in implant dentistry as well as an introductory level outline of the business side of a successful implant office.
Based on his own journey, Dr. O provided attendees the keys to transforming their office into a successful implant practice. He also reviewed some of the newest and most relevant technologies in the field of implant dentistry, including: PRP/PRF, Cone Beam Technology, dentin grinding for autogenous bone grafts, the implant stability quotient device and the Densah drill.

We wish Dr. Lee well on his upcoming journey to a Prosthodontic Residency in Connecticut.
We are also thrilled to welcome Dr. Ingy Alhelawe to the practice! She lives by the motto “Exist to Inspire” and dreams of a world where laughter and love are the motivating factors for people to become the best version of themselves. As a dentist with various experiences, she takes pride in providing the highest standard of care for her patients all while keeping them smiling and as comfortable as possible.
Born along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in Alexandria, Egypt, Ingy and her family moved to New Jersey when she was two to seek out a better life opportunity. As she broke the barriers of her cultural expectations, she sought out a Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences, Middle Eastern Studies, and Psychology. She later earned her DMD from Boston University where she graduated Summa Cum Laude. She then went on to complete the highly respected general practice residency at the Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; one of the best in the nation.
Community outreach plays a large role in Ingy’s life – she has spent time in various parts of the country and the world providing care to underserved populations. When she’s not busy treating patients you can find her barefoot in a forest, doing headstands on top of a mountain or having dance parties with her two year old niece Lily.
The ADA Health Policy Institute (HPI) has prepared at-a-glance reports on an array of oral health indicators for each state and D.C.
Topics for each include dental care utilization; oral health status, attitudes and dental IQ; fluoridation rates; reimbursement rates to providers; trends in dentist to population ratios; and percentage of dentists who participate in Medicaid.
It’s Summertime, and the livin’ is easy! School is coming to a close and the long hot days of summer are upon us already, which means fun in the sun, road trips and yummy treats to keep cool. Unfortunately the summer can wreak havoc on you and your family’s oral health, so be sure to follow these tips to protect your teeth AND enjoy all that this warm season has to offer …
A Break from the Norm
Summer means slowing down and not always sticking to the schedule, thanks to late night backyard BBQs and vacations. While taking a break from the grind is great, be sure to still brush and floss every day and remind your kids to do the same! Also, most people think to visit their dentist for a check-up right before heading back to school, but now is actually the BEST time, so you can travel without fears of dental problem arising and ruining your vacation.
Enjoy the Tastes of the Season
Staying cool and hydrated is extra important during the summer months, however many traditional favorites – such as popsicles, sports drinks and lemonade – are loaded with sugar which can cause cavities and be bad for your family’s overall nutrition as well. Make sure healthier alternatives, such as cool lemon water, unsweetened ice tea, and cut up fruits and veggies are prepared and easily accessible.
Fun in the Sun
Staying active as temperatures climb can be fun and easy thanks to water sports, such as volleyball, swimming and diving. While not contact sports, these activities are often the cause of dental injuries such as chipped teeth. Consider investing in mouth guards for you and the kids to protect your teeth and insist on a strict no running at the pool rule to help prevent accidental falls.
