Jo Anne Barbaruolo, DDS - Long Beach, NY

Periodontal care often slips under the radar until it becomes urgent. Gums, after all, don’t announce their distress the way teeth do, yet their health underpins every smile. Jo Anne Barbaruolo, DDS specializes in precisely this quiet corner of dentistry, offering treatments that range from routine scaling to more involved procedures like gum grafts and pocket reduction. The practice sits at 38 W Park Ave Suite 100B, a low-slung building just steps from the Long Beach boardwalk, where the salt air mingles with the hum of daily life along the South Shore. For anyone navigating gum disease or considering dental implants, the office provides a focused alternative to general dentistry. Appointments can be arranged by calling (516) 431-2200, and those unfamiliar with the area will find directions via the map helpful—especially when the summer crowds turn the streets into a maze of beachgoers and ice cream lines. The neighborhood itself feels like a pause button, where the rush of the city gives way to the rhythm of tides and seagulls.
