Hygiene:
We believe a good foundation is the key to optimal oral health;
therefore, our periodontal (gum and bones) care is of the utmost
priority. We customize cleanings to properly care for your specific
periodontal needs. Whether a six-month checkup or full periodontal
therapy is needed, our hygienists will always strive to provide
the very best treatment while maintaining your absolute comfort.
Fluoride treatment:
Unfortunately, most people assume that the fluoride
they get in their toothpaste and water is adequate for their
needs. Research shows that properly applied fluoride blocks
cavities by forming a more acid-resistant surface layer, and
can even reverse early forming cavities
Sealants:
Your teeth are covered with a sticky film of bacteria, called
plaque. Plaque bacteria use sugars and starches in food as a
source of energy. The bacteria convert the sugars into harmful
acids that attack tooth enamel to break down, resulting in cavities.
A sealant is a plastic material that is usually applied to the
chewing surfaces of the back teeth. This plastic resin bonds
into the depressions and grooves (pits and fissures) of the chewing
surfaces of the back teeth. The sealant acts as a barrier, protecting
enamel from plaque and acids. Sealants reduce the risk of cavities
in these areas by 80%.
