Our hygienists understand the importance of patient education. They will show you proper brushing and flossing techniques and advise you on how best to care for your teeth at home. Their aim is to keep your teeth and mouth healthy and your smile bright.
In addition, they use the CAESY video education system to show you colorful and informative videos that explain home care clearly.
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss, but can be treated effectively.
Our hygienists are great at treating mild to moderate gum disease. They take their time to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible. They use the latest in laser technology for deep cleanings. All our hygienists are certified and trained in the use of soft tissue diode lasers.
Tooth roots are planed using hand instruments and ultrasonic scalers and the soft tissue laser is used to remove diseased tissue and bacteria that cause gum disease inside the pocket. The use of the laser has been shown in research to be very effective and produces longer lasting results.
When plaque has been building up too long without any treatment, the threat to your teeth is much more acute. It can destroy bone that holds the teeth as well as surrounding soft tissue. Severe gum disease is also associated with other health issues, such as heart disease, strokes and more.
