Patient Education:
Personalized Periodontal Therapy
Our practice is focused on PREVENTION and HEALTH, as opposed to one simply emphasizing emergency and repair care.
What most people do not realize is that the supporting gum tissue and bone are just as vital as the teeth themselves. Unfortunately, this important area is often neglected, and prevention is often misunderstood and inadequately stressed.
Spending time with our hygienist before and after your treatment is essential to the long-term predictability of not only your natural teeth, but of any aesthetic and advanced restorative procedure as well.
It is our goal to assist our patients in achieving a level of dental health based on their wants and needs.
Teeth Cleaning
TO MAINTAIN THE HEALTH OF YOUR TEETH AND GUMS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO SEE YOUR DENTAL HYGIENIST FOR A PROFESSIONAL CLEANING 2 TO 4 TIMES A YEAR, DEPENDING UPON THE CONDITION OF YOUR ORAL HEALTH.
Our hygienists are highly skilled professionals proficient in managing all types of gum disease ranging from routine cleanings and pregnancy gingivitis to early, moderate and advanced periodontal diseases.
Since we feel prevention is the cornerstone to a long-term brilliant smile and the key to your long–term dental health, we have put tremendous resources into our hygiene department as well.
At Each Hygiene Visit
Again, reemphasizing prevention, we will continue to provide an ongoing examination of your dental health. We will do an oral cancer screening, check for cavities, soft tissue evaluation, bite analysis, TMJ analysis, and any functional or cosmetic concern as it relates to your health history is also updated and evaluated. All of these steps are very useful in maintaining a proactive and prevention regime regarding your dental health.
For Your Convenience
We also recommend the Rotodent toothbrush, which is available for purchase at our office. Professional mouth rinses are also available to help maintain your periodontal health. We will send you home with a quality Butler toothbrush and floss after each visit with our compliments. We hope your experience in the hygiene department will be informative, comfortable and thorough.
