In order to help our patients achieve a healthy a mouth,
as free of decay, crowding and gum problems as possible,
each patient will be advised to come in for a separate
appointment for specific instructions on how to avoid tooth
decay and associated problems. The instruction is thorough,
intensive and will serve to teach, motivate and inspire the
patient on the methods and value of good preventive care.
Areas covered include toothbrushing, plaque disclosing
methods, use of dental floss and a snack and diet review.
Patients in orthodontic bands will be shown how to use an
electric toothbrush.
A discussion of fluoride tablets, fluoride mouthwashes and
toothpastes will also be included. Follow-up appointments
to review results and reinforce the techniques taught will
be set up as needed. If preventive practices are properly
taught and included in the daily lives of our patients,
they will go forward to a future of good dental health.

Although our practice specializes in the dental needs
of children, it is my goal and that of my staff
to provide for the personal well-being of every
patient seeking treatment here. In serving you,
each of the individuals who comprise our staff
has a special task to perform. Each has been trained in a
special skill so that every patient may look forward to
comprehensive dental care in a professional atmosphere.
We provide consultation before treatment, advice on
preventive
dentistry, and an explanation of all fees and treatment
before services are rendered. We make every effort to see
patients on time, promptly respond to emergencies, and
provide special techniques for patients who have special
needs or anxieties.
