Patient Spotlight: Meet Elena

As longtime providers of gentle, effective family dental care in the Bronx and NYC regions, our skilled dentists are ecstatic when patients are able to experience the life-changing effects of comprehensive dental care. With that said, we’d like to introduce our community to Elena! At 95 years old, Elena G. is an inspiring reminder of how dental cleanings and routine dental care can not only maintain a beautiful smile, but also support overall well-being. Elena worked for Verizon for 33 years and has been a patient at Oelbaum & Kagan Dentistry since 2022, and she continues to impress the team with her dedication to oral health.

Elena arrives at each of her appointments unassisted, a testament to her vitality and independence. She never misses her six-month cleanings and oral exams, understanding that consistent preventive care is the foundation of healthy teeth and gums. By pairing professional visits with her daily commitment to brushing and flossing, Elena has set a strong example of how regular habits make a significant difference at any age.

Outside of her commitment to dental health, Elena leads a full and vibrant life. She enjoys traveling and cherishes trips to Italy and London as part of her many adventures. Elena has a daughter and family remains an important part of her story.

Elena’s story highlights the importance of preventive dentistry and ongoing care — cleanings, oral exams, and at-home dental hygiene are powerful tools for maintaining health and independence well into the golden years. We are proud to have Elena as part of our dental family and grateful for the opportunity to celebrate her radiant smile and inspiring lifestyle!

At Oelbaum & Kagan Dentistry, building long-lasting relationships with our patients is at the forefront of our practice philosophy. We’re passionate about helping individuals of any age enjoy confident, healthy, and fully functioning smiles. Contact our friendly office in The Bronx today to book an appointment.
