How We Practice
Our team of experienced dental hygienists (periodontal therapists) has trained extensively at the prestigious Kois Institute for advanced dental studies. Some of the advances in preventive oral wellness garnered from Kois include:
- Saliva testing for early detection and specific identification of oral pathogens.
- Periodontal screening to measure gum inflammation and periodontal bone health
- Antibiotic therapy targeting specific bacteria
- Oral rinses to decrease bacterial load
- Periodontal scaling to initiate gum healing and disease remission
- Precise Power toothbrushes and oral irrigators
- Coaching and teaching wellness information
