Prevention
It's Not Just a Cleaning!
Prevention should serve as a lifestyle pattern for total health, not the least of which is dental health.
Prevention in dentistry leads to improved long-term oral health and reduced dental costs. It encourages a
bright smile, fresh breath and an overall good feeling of personal security. Prevention is your insurance
policy toward a healthier, pain free, debt-free lifestyle.
Our dental hygienist can provide excellent services to assist in the maintenance program for your overall
dental health. Your cooperation with her can serve to increase your knowledge of your present oral
condition.
When you keep your appointment with your hygienist, the following benefits will result:
Our dental hygienist will customize a personal home prevention maintenance program for you and inform
you of those dental products which are appropriate for your particular needs. You will be instructed in the
proper methods of tooth brushing, flossing and adjunctive dental health services.
Your entire mouth will be thoroughly and carefully examined for gum disease, growths, lesions and any
abnormalities that would affect your general health.
Your teeth will be cleaned and polished to remove plaque and tarter both above and below the gum line,
eliminating bacteria that lead to cavities, bad breath and gum disease.
Fluoride will be applied to the teeth to prevent decay (for children) and root sensitivity/root cavities for
adults.
Sealants can be easily applied to the chewing surfaces of childrens' teeth as a protection against future
decay.
Dental disease is a silent invader, presenting itself in various forms (bleeding, puffy gums, cavities, oral
cancer, abscesses). Although your mouth may appear to be in good health at this time, stresses, body
changes, life changes, medications, illness and age can tax your immune system. Maintaining regular
re-care appointments with your dental hygienist and follow-ups with your dentist offers you the assurance
that any problems in regard to your oral care will be addressed immediately.
Taking care of tomorrow's problems today will give you tremendous peace of mind. If you have
postponed or missed your last hygiene maintenance appointment, remember: it's not just a
cleaning, it's an INVESTMENT in your overall health!

Fillings
The concept of a “filling” is replacing and restoring your tooth structure that is damaged due to decay or
fracture with a material. We will replace old, broken-down amalgam/metal fillings that contain traces of
mercury with white fillings (composites) to restore your smile and teeth to a more natural look and feel.
With today’s advancements, no longer will you have to suffer the embarrassment of unsightly
silver/mercury fillings or metal margins of the past. Eliminate the dark, black appearance in your teeth
with new-age, state-of-the-art, tooth-colored resin or porcelain materials.
Comparing White Fillings versus Silver Amalgam fillings:
White fillings bond to the tooth; they strengthen the tooth by restoring most of its original shape. Silver
amalgams, on the other hand, weaken the teeth and make them more susceptible to breaking. Broken
teeth can be very expensive to replace; white fillings can actually save time and money in the long run.
White filling composites are preferred by most patients. This is due to the natural color, strength and
overall appearance and feel. Composites are naturally more comfortable.
Hot and cold sensitivity is greatly reduced with composite material compared to the silver/mercury
amalgams.
Restorations with composites require less removal of tooth, less structure to place than those with
amalgams and especially with new cavities, dramatically smaller holes are needed with a composite.
White fillings are healthier because no traces of mercury are used, unlike silver amalgams.
Our philosophy is simple.
Treat our family of patients like we would want to be treated ourselves.
Prevention is the rule.
Have your teeth cleaned regularly to help prevent gum disease.
Small areas of decay will only become large areas of decay,
take care of these problems while they're still small.
Protect teeth with large fillings from breaking with crowns.
