Pediatric Cleaning
We love working with kids! Bring your little one in as soon as they have teeth so we can help them learn to love going to the dentist at an early age. For children who are old enough we will take xrays to detect any signs of decay starting. We will gently polish their teeth, have doctor do an exam and place a fluoride varnish to prevent decay. We understand that going to the dentist can be scary for kids. We strive to make the appointment fun and easy as possible for them so they can become great patients for life!

Periodontal Therapy
At your initial appointment if bone loss and gum disease are detected we will provide an additional procedure to help slow or stop the disease process. Gum disease is responsible for approximately 70% of tooth loss in adults. When bacteria forms below the gumline it produces toxins that cause separation of the gum tissue and tooth structure, leading to loss of bone. Our hygienists will perform a deep cleaning to remove this build up and ensure you are comfortable during the procedure.
