1. New York Updates Its Workers\u2019 Compensation Dental Fee Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
On June 30, 2025, the New York State Workers\u2019 Compensation Board proposed updates to the Official New York Workers\u2019 Compensation Dental Fee Schedule<\/strong>. 1 <\/p>\n\n\n\n What this means in plain language:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why it matters for East Flatbush patients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve had a work accident that damaged your teeth or jaw, your treatment may go through the workers\u2019 compensation system. Updated fees can make it easier for dental offices across Brooklyn to provide the care you need without delays or confusion over what\u2019s covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you think you have a work-related dental injury, let our front desk know when you book\u2014our team can help you understand your options and coordinate with your workers\u2019 comp carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The NYC Health Department<\/strong> has adopted a new penalty schedule for radiation-control violations under Article 175 of the NYC Health Code. Fixed monetary fines for certain violations will apply to dental offices and other facilities that use X-ray equipment. 3 <\/p>\n\n\n\n In short:<\/p>\n\n\n\n What this means for our patients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For you as a patient, this is good news. It reinforces something we already take very seriously at Hollywood Smile NY:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you ever have questions about why an X-ray is recommended, our dentists are happy to explain the benefits and risks in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A major June 2025 study from NYU College of Dentistry<\/strong> looked at more than 1,600 New York City children and over 10,000 cavities treated right in their schools. 4 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Researchers compared two simple approaches:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The results were impressive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why Brooklyn parents should care<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For families in East Flatbush and the surrounding Brooklyn neighborhoods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In our Brooklyn dental office, we use evidence-based preventive treatments like fluoride, sealants, and minimally invasive dentistry to help children avoid major procedures later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your child hasn\u2019t had a dental visit in the last six months, this is a great time to schedule one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New York\u2019s dental schools are also growing to meet community needs. For example, Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine\u2019s Class of 2028 recently welcomed 46 new students, most of them from New York State, with a focus on serving areas that lack enough dental professionals. 6 <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s encouraging news for neighborhoods like East Flatbush, where access to convenient, high-quality dental care is essential for long-term health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether it\u2019s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n June 2025 has brought important developments to dentistry in our state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Hollywood Smile NY<\/strong>, your local dentist in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, we stay on top of these changes so you don\u2019t have to.
