What Is a Dental Emergency?

Frequently asked questions
Like to be prepared? Us too! Our FAQs below will help answer your questions and prepare you for a great visit with our Tend Dental Upper East Side team.
-
What are your payment and financing options?
We aim to make paying for your dental care as simple and stress-free as possible.
You can securely pay your bill online with easy, encrypted options like HSA/FSA cards, credit or debit cards, Apple Pay/Google Pay, and more. Through our partner Cedar, you can view your insurance details, track balances, receive reminders, and even set up a custom 0% interest payment plan that fits your budget.
We also offer flexible financing through CareCredit, a healthcare-focused credit option that lets approved patients spread out their dental costs in convenient monthly payments, including for care not fully covered by insurance.
Before any treatment, we’ll clearly explain your expected costs and payment choices so you feel confident moving forward
-
How often should I come in for a dental cleaning?
Most patients should return for a cleaning and checkup every six months. These regular visits help us catch small issues, such as early signs of decay or gum disease, before they become more serious or expensive to treat.
However, some patients may need to visit more frequently, especially if they have a history of gum disease, wear orthodontic appliances like aligners, or are more prone to plaque buildup. Your dentist will create a personalized care plan to support lifelong dental wellness for you and your loved ones, ensuring that you receive the right level of care.
Even if everything looks great, cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can't remove, and they’re key to keeping your smile feeling fresh and looking its best.
-

What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit is designed to be both thorough and welcoming. Here’s what you can expect:
- A complete dental exam to assess your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health
- Digital X-rays offer detailed images below the surface with much lower radiation than traditional X-rays
- A gentle, professional cleaning tailored to your needs
- A one-on-one with your dentist to review findings, answer questions, and create a treatment plan if needed
We will take the time to review your dental history, discuss your goals (whether it’s improving your oral health or making cosmetic changes), and provide you with ample time to ask questions without feeling rushed.
Our studio is designed to feel calm and welcoming, allowing you to relax and actually enjoy taking care of your smile.

How do I cancel or reschedule my appointment?
If you need to cancel or reschedule for any reason, call us at (646) 494-8549 . We ask that you please do so at least 48 hours before your scheduled appointment time. We reserve that time specifically for you, and our appointments are in high demand. We appreciate as much notice as possible if you need to reschedule.
You can also log into your profile on the Tend Dental app to make any changes needed, including cancelling and rescheduling.
