When you think of the word home, we hope it gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling. Home is where we feel comfortable, where we can share our thoughts and feelings, hopes and fears, and more. But home can mean so much more. And at Laurel Manor, we want to be your dental home away from home.

Benefits of Putting Down Roots in Your Winter Community

One of the first questions you are often asked when meeting someone new is, “Where are you from?” This is because understanding someone’s roots, or origins not only gives them something to talk about but can also help create an association. When you put down roots somewhere, it tells others a lot about you as a person and the community where you are putting down those roots too. 

And when it comes to the dentist, everyone wants a place where they feel comfortable. But what do you do when you live away from your primary home for a good portion of the year and need dental care? The answer is simple – you find a dental home away from home.

If you are fortunate enough to have a Florida home to enjoy the warm weather and beautiful sights during those cold winters and blizzardy months, we applaud you. And if you selected The Villages, Florida as your home away from home, we’re just that much more excited! After all, we know all the beautiful benefits of living here, year-round or for a few months of the year. 

But we also understand how important it is to have everything you need to live comfortably in your southern home. From grocery stores to restaurants to medical and dental care, you want the best of the best. And at Laurel Manor Dental, we think we have just that – great dental care at a place that can be your only dental home away from home.

Why Laurel Manor Dental Is the Best Dental Home Away From Home 

We can’t say enough about the reasons that you need a dental home away from home. Here’s how establishing a relationship with a dental practice in the area can help you.

1. Sleep better.

Sometimes when we are away from our primary home, we don’t sleep as well. And though it may be because the mattress is firmer or softer than the one you’re used to, or the sounds are different, sometimes there are other reasons you may not be sleeping well. If you’re snoring or waking up with a sore jaw, then your dentist can help. You may benefit from a nightguard to stop bruxism, sleep apnea treatment, and sleep dentistry. In just one visit to our office, we can help set you on a path to better sleep.

2. Address a sudden toothache.

Sudden toothaches don’t wait for a time that is convenient for you. When a toothache comes on, you want it addressed quickly. After all, you’re not wintering in Florida for the heck of it. You want to get outside and enjoy all the area has to offer, right? At your dental home away from home, we can treat whatever is causing your toothache so you can get back to enjoying sunny Florida. 

3. Keep up with your dental cleanings.

We recommend seeing your dentist every six months for a dental cleaning and oral examination. Coordinating those visits at your dental home near your home isn’t always possible. Your dentist at the Villages in Florida can help. While we can help you with your dental emergency, we’re also here to help with your preventative care. 

4. Stay on top of your periodontal disease.

Your periodontal disease doesn’t just disappear when you head south for the winter. Dr. Rozensky can help you stay on top of your periodontitis. Whether you need root planing, scaling, or other treatment, the team at Laurel Manor Dental has you covered. 

5. Stop gum disease before it turns into something more serious.

Just like you need a trusted dental professional at your dental home away from home to help you stay on top of your periodontitis, if you are starting to experience symptoms of gum disease, you don’t want to wait until you get home to do something about it. Gum disease is a common cause of tooth loss, so it is important to stop gum disease in its tracks.

6. Fix your loose dentures.

Sometimes your dentures become loose without any apparent explanation. This can be incredibly frustrating, especially if they were comfortable and stable before. In most situations, dentures become loose because of general wear and tear or bone resorption. If you have loose dentures, we can help you identify the source of the problem and fix it too.

7. Have someone you trust to call for care.

Your oral health is directly linked to your overall health. When you have a dental home away from home, you can rely on the trust and relationship that you already have established. The last thing you want to do is update a new dentist every winter on your health and dental needs and concerns. 

8. Know that you are getting treated by someone with the proper experience and credentials.

Just like you don’t want to have to share your health and dental details over and over again, you want to be able to do your research just one time to ensure your dentist away from home has the experience and credentials to help you care for your oral health. Dr. Rozensky has completed thousands of hours of continuing education. He has studied a two-year advanced curriculum, completed a course in comprehensive dentistry, and an 18-month advanced curriculum along with an executive practice management program, much of which took place at the University of Florida.
