If you speak Spanish, it is important that there are Spanish-speaking dentists near you.
In fact, it is vital to your health that you and your dentist are able to communicate properly without struggling to understand one another.
We have a solution for you. Meet Dr. Munoz. He is able to communicate with you in your native language. One out of every six people in the United States is of Hispanic decent, so there is a serious need for dentists who can communicate, diagnose, treat, and educate patients about their dental health in Spanish. In fact, 60 percent of Hispanics admitted in a study performed by the Hispanic Dental Association, that if more dentists and hygienists spoke Spanish, they would be able to maintain good oral health.
The Smile team at Washington Dental Associates, along with Dr. Munoz is committed in helping the Hispanic community in the Bergen county area raise their standard of dental care through education, community awareness events, and providing comprehensive dental care in an environment that speaks their language.
If you are looking for a Spanish-speaking dentist near you, then look no further. We are at the heart of Bergenfield where 30% of the community is of Hispanic or Latino descent.
