"I've been going to Dr. Long for 20 years and will not go anywhere else, ever. He gives the most painless shots possible. He is soft spoken and kind. His front office is professional and most helpful. His hygienist staff mirrors his personality: kind, helpful and professional. I cannot say enough about the experience there. I highly recommend Dr. Michael Long."

"He and his staff are fun and friendly and willing to go out of their way to help you and your family. I have gone to him for 15 years and trust him and his staff. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that the staff knows your name and who you are. I highly recommend."

Dr. Michael Long, protecting you from oral cancer

In our continuing efforts at Michael G. Long DDS to provide the most advanced technology and highest quality dental care available to our patients, we screen our patients for oral cancer. The fact is, every hour of every day in the United States, someone dies of oral cancer, which is the sixth-most common diagnosed form of the deadly disease. The five-year survival rate is only 50 percent, and oral cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved with time.

Fresno dentist Dr. Michael Long will tell you early detection of pre-cancerous tissue can minimize or eliminate the potentially disfiguring effects of oral cancer and possibly save your life. Ask Dr. Long about a screening at your next appointment and have a great weekend!!

Smile! June is National Smile Month!

The American Dental Association discovered a while back that a person's smile was important than their eyes, hair and body as the most important physical feature. After all, there's a big reason why Americans spend as much as they do on general and cosmetic dentistry each year: folks want to look (and feel) great.

That brings us to June, also known as National Smile Month. It's a great time for Dr. Long to remind all of our patients to practice good oral hygiene between your visits to our office.

Here are a few simple steps you can take to improve your oral health so you can celebrate National Smile Month for many, many years:

* Brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
* Floss everyday to clean between your teeth.
* Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks.
* Visit Dr. Long regularly (usually every six months or sooner).

If you have questions about any of these tips, we encourage you to give us a call at 559-432-4850. We hope you have a great weekend! Get out there and share your smiles with the rest of Fresno!
