As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health.'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound ofcure.' We strive to provide periodontal health care vs. disease care. Thats why we focus on thorough exams checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine SPT 's, daily OHI of brushing and flossing, periodontal probings and digitalx-rayshelp prevent further periodontal disease and breakdown. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, were also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.
Infection control in our office is also very important to us. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
