Highest Standards of Cleanliness We care for your best health on many levels. We never take even the smallest risk when it comes to maintaining your safety. We use state-of-the-art technology to sterilize instruments after each use. Single-use tools for certain procedures are discarded after treatment. Instruments are sanitized in an autoclave that is monitored for safety and cleanliness by an outside lab. We want you to be assured that we meet or exceed all dental standards and safety procedures for each patient at every visit.
Diabetes puts you at risk for dental problems. It impairs the ability to fight bacteria in your mouth. Having high blood sugar encourages bacteria to grow and contributes to gum disease. You may have gum disease if you have:
Gums that are red, sore, bleeding, or swollen, or that pull away from your teeth
Relief from Numbness After receiving anesthesia for treatment, often the numbness continues for another 3 to 5 hours. Patients can feel uncomfortable with “fat lips” when speaking or eating for this prolonged time. But you don’t have to have that feeling after a procedure is completed. With OraVerse™, in only 15 minutes your mouth can be back to normal. It is an amazing product that actually reverses the effect of the anesthesia quickly. If you don’t want to deal for hours with that numb feeling, we can take care of it for you in just minutes.
Digital X-rays with Less Radiation With digital technology, there is no waiting time for developing an X-ray and no chemicals used that harm the environment. It is an immediate process – as soon as a sensor is placed in your mouth, the image is downloaded to our computer screen. Just one image captures both upper and lower dental arches. There is less radiation produced – 75% less than with the original method of X-rays.

Ways And Products To Maintain Oral Care On The Go These days, it seems like everybody is going non-stop. But just because you’re busy or traveling - whether for work or play - that’s no excuse for neglecting your daily dental care routine. One of the easiest ways to maintain oral care on the go is to carry a small container of floss with you. If you’re hiking or camping and want to travel light, floss takes up less space than your electric flosser. A variety of products make oral care easier when you are traveling or time-strapped. Soft flosses, such as Oral-B’s Satin Floss, can be used by anyone. They slide easily between the teeth to make flossing faster and easier. Also, interdental brush cleaners, made of nylon bristles and narrow enough to fit between teeth, combine brushing and flossing for surfaces between the teeth. If you are hiking, camping or traveling where space is at a premium, buy a small travel toothbrush that folds up. The brush will stay clean and it will take up less of your valuable space. Another point: If you’re going to be traveling for an extended period of time, and especially if you will be traveling overseas or in the wilderness, be sure to schedule a checkup with your dentist before you go. The last thing you want is a dental health problem to erupt when you are far from reliable dental care. Problems can still occur, but you can reduce the risk by being as prepared as you can before you travel. The above article is from: OralB.com
