Dental Cleaning

It is essential to visit our hygienists, Alison and Kerry on a regular basis at our office even if you come in regularly for dental treatments. Alison and Kerry are licensed oral health professionals who focus on preventing and treating oral diseases-both to protect teeth and gums, and also to protect our patients’ overall health.

We care about your whole body and your oral health by providing you with oral cancer screenings, tooth and gum assessments, nutrition information, personalized oral homecare advice and will answer any questions you may have.Brushing and flossing your teeth may be more important than you think. Gingivitis, an early phase of gum disease, is inflammation of the gums caused by the accumulation of plaque and bacteria at the gum line. 

If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more serious and damaging stage of infection resulting in bone loss of the jaw that holds your teeth in place and further gum inflammation. Recent studies have demonstrated there is an association between periodontitis and certain systemic diseases, such as stroke, diabetes, and heart disease, which remains a leading cause of death in both men and women.

Fighting oral bacteria and gum inflammation associated with gingivitis by brushing and flossing regularly (after every meal) is a simple step that people can incorporate into daily routines. Dental problems caught at an early stage can be your best defense against the prevention of major dental work later on.
