Teeth Cleaning

The basis of sound dental care is routine cleaning and maintenance. We customize cleanings on the basis of your periodontal (gums and bone) health.  We help patients understand how they can participate in their own oral health by teaching them the best practices for good oral hygiene habits at home.

Ultrasonic scalers are sometimes used to make the procedure more comfortable and effective as well. Regular dental check-ups and x-rays help us help you stay healthy!

Fluoride

Patients at high risk of dental decay or cold sensitivity may benefit from using additional fluoride products, including mouth rinses and professionally applied gels and varnishes.

Localized Antibiotics

Whenever possible, periodontal intervention utilizes antibiotic therapy rather than a surgical solution. Placing localized antibiotics targets the specific site of infection and prevents periodontal disease from progressing.
