As a biological dentist, I believe that a hygiene program is much more that just cleaning teeth. That, in fact, is what you do at home. I believe a hygiene program needs to be designed to meet the specific needs of each individual. I choose to focus on prevention: preventing bleeding gums, bone loss and mobile teeth. For our healthiest clients and our clients who are experiencing any of these conditions, we customize a treatment plan that specifically addresses their particular situation. We might use...
- A phase microscope to discover exactly which bacteria are in your mouth. We can treat them specifically and find out how these bacteria can affect
your gums as well as your full body health.
- Customized, natural irrigation solutions for your specific needs.
- A simple 20-second painless, tasteless test to determine your Vitamin C levels. Vitamin C is crucial for your gum tissue health, immune system support and for detoxifying.
- Herbal complexes and supplements in addition to traditional hygiene methods to build healthy bony support and gum tissue... which happen to be the structures that hold your teeth in your mouth.
- A laser assisted procedure that removes bacteria and diseased tissue, saving teeth and healing gum tissue.
Because helping you maintain your best periodontal (gum and bone tissue surrounding teeth) health is crucial to maintaining and improving your overall health, early diagnosis of problems and your full understanding of your condition is crucial. This is more than a casual relationship: Periodontal disease has been directly related to an increase in strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, premature/low birth weight babies, and more. We now have a computer-assisted way to comfortably measure periodontal pockets with 2/10 mm accuracy while displaying results on a monitor for your personal understanding.
For people whose periodontal condition is not healthy, I have been using an incredible, new laser technology. With our Periolase, we are saving teeth I formerly thought were
unsavable and are conservatively treating teeth that formerly would have been candidates for extreme surgical intervention. This Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (called LANAP) has been an amazing aid to keeping more of the original parts God created us with: An amazing aid for people to keep their teeth in a healthy state.
