Routine Hygiene Visits

You’re probably heard the word “plaque.”  But how much do you REALLY know about this sticky substance?

Most dental disease is the result of acute or chronic infection that begins with the build-up of plaque. Few people realize that a simple daily program of controlling bacterial plaque activity will help protect them from virtually all dental disease

Our comprehensive plaque control program combines effective home care with routine office visits. By incorporating our home care regimen into your daily oral hygiene routine and visiting us regularly, your beautiful and healthy smile can last a lifetime. Better yet, your efforts could drastically reduce the need for costly dental repairs.

The importance of controlling the inflammation of periodontal disease is no longer limited to saving your teeth. Current research has confirmed that poor oral health has a direct affect on cardiac health. The total systemic health affects of periodontal disease are much more serious than previously suspected. Even mild gingivitis (minor bleeding gums) will produce harmful bacteria.

The recent advance of using a dental laser to treat gum disease has proven very successful in our practice. In many cases, even advanced disease can be treated non-surgically. It’s both quick and painless with amazingly short healing times. Even more amazing, the cost of the treatment can be thousands of dollars less than traditional surgery!
