Periodontal
Assessment
Fluoride Varnish
Applied to clean teeth at the end of the appointment. This treatment is at no charge to the patient and prevents new cavities as well as helps to remineralize areas of the beginnings of decay. It can also aid in teeth sensitivity.
Fluoride
Varnish
Prophylaxis
Preventive services that include removing hard deposits and polishing teeth. It is followed by a fluoride varnish.
Regular preventative oral care can reduce bacteria in the mouth, decreasing inflammation in the body as well as the incidence of aspiration pneumonia - the number one cause of fatalities in care facilities.
Prophylaxis
Stopping Cavities with Silver Diamine Fluoride
We use a method of arresting or stopping cavities called Silver Diamine Fluoride. This is a method that arrests tooth decay. Application of SDF is considered an atraumatic restoration as it requires no drilling and is comfortable. Areas of decay will darken, but will be arrested.

Non-surgical
Periodontal Therapy
In the presence of bone loss and gum disease, we provide comfortable initial periodontal therapies and follow up with supportive periodontal therapy. We continue prior periodontal care. Oral preventive therapies, such as periodontal and prophylaxis treatments will reduce bacterial infection and will in turn reduce inflammation.

Thorough Medical History
with Vitals
We understand that medical/physical health conditions have an impact on oral health - just as oral health can impact overall health. A thorough knowledge of individual health considerations becomes important, as well as keeping an update on medications. We begin each appointment with taking vitals: BP, temp and O2%.
