Our goal is to provide you with the tools to maximize and maintain your overall oral health, emphasizing patient education and instruction. There is no substitute for a proper home care regiment and a full understanding of why home care is so important.

Proper oral home care can improve overall systemic health, lower dental and medical costs, and lead to less time in the dental chair. In addition to our emphasis on patient education, we perform exams every 6 months. Frequent examinations are critical to identifying potential problems early.

At each exam we:

• Thoroughly review and demonstrate proper oral hygiene techniques
• Customize a homecare plan based on your current condition
• Supplement with fluoride if needed
• Discuss how your diet can lower your risk for cavities
• Take X-rays regularly to identify problems early
• Evaluate your teeth for decay and other potential problems, such as fractures, which are often asymptomatic

At each exam we also screen for:

• Gingivitis,
• Periodontal disease,
• Oral cancer,
• TMJ dysfunction
