Periodontal Health
Increasing evidence in both dental and medical literature has shown a link between gingivitis/periodontitis (gum disease) and general health problems (for instance-heart disease and diabetes). We are fortunate enough to have two hygienists in our office that have many years of experience in periodontal (gum) therapy as well as preventative care. They are excited about dentistry and are committed to educating each patient on the benefits of optimal oral health and dental care. They use the latest in diagnostic and educational tool to evaluate your oral health and to teach you the best way to have healthy teeth and gums. Appointments are not rushed so they can take their time and get to know you and answer any questions you may have.
Initial Oral Examination Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes the panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.
Emergency Dental Treatment
If you have a life-threatening or severe injury, call 911 or go directly to the nearest hospital emergency room. We can treat a variety of traumatic dental injuries, including teeth that have been chipped, moved, or knocked out entirely. Please call our office for assistance.
