Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.

Oral hygiene habits form early in life, starting a path to a healthy mouth begins with early childhood dental care. Dr. Dlugosz participates in programs such as “Give Kids A Smile” and goes to local preschools to show kids how and why brushing is important and educate them about healthy snacks options. 

In her spare time Dr. Dlugosz enjoys traveling and spending time with her husband and 3 children.
