According
to the latest research the leading cause of tooth loss
in adults is the periodontal disease. The good news
is that it could be easily prevented with regular dental
check ups with cleanings and proper home care.
We recommend the use of Hydrofloss
along with 6 months continues care appointments with
our professional team of hygienists who are friendly
and gentle. For more information on Hydrofloss please
visit their site: http://www.hydrofloss.com/prdc.htm
with internet discount code 13747.
However, if the periodontal disease
is diagnosed we can control the spread. Sometimes it
is possible to totally reverse the periodontal disease
through non-surgical or surgical treatment where indicated.
If periodontal disease is treated in
a timely manner it can have a positive effect on the
whole human body including but not limited to heart
conditions, pregnancy, etc.
If you haven’t had a professional
cleaning and periodontal evaluation in the past 6 months
now is the time to make an appointment. We will do our
best to preserve your teeth for a lifetime if you comply
with your part.

In
our office we make the most of digital radiography.
Simpler stated, in hopes of minimizing our patients
to radiation exposure, we use computerized X-rays. In
fact, we are able to reduce patient’s radiation
by up to ninety percent. An additional perk of digital
X-rays is the environmentally friendly aspect. Given
that we no longer utilize the old form of X-ray processing,
the plastic and lead foil containers which the film
was packaged in, on top of the liquid developer waste
produced are reduced. Almost instantly, the image pops
up on the computer for the patient and doctor to view
together. The ability to alter contrast and colors are
very helpful in pointing out a specific area that you
may have. Together with the intra-oral camera, digital
radiography gives the patient the ability to identify
and analyze their dental wishes side by side with the
dentist.
