Our practice educates our patients in terms of the best dentistry is no dentistry. Prevention is the best way to be healthy. We like to educate our patients about oral hygiene and oral habits in a way that they avoid decay, prevention of decay, prevention of wear and tear, and prevention of destruction of the enameled surfaces.
Habits like bruxing and grinding, those are very damaging. So something as simple as a mouth guard. So we try to evaluate those basic things, hygiene, flossing, having a mouth guard, and that might keep somebody like you know young and healthy from ever needing any dental work.
But if somebody has a habit of clenching, they might start cracking their teeth and through the cracks the bacteria go and they start getting cavities. And maybe they could prevent those cavities. So our take is less is more.
The more the patient does, the less I have to do. So we are really big on education.

General dentistry includes many services, such as exams and cleanings, that prevent dental problems from ever happening. Our team will help you avoid dental decay, gum disease, and even sports-related mouth injuries. It also addresses a wide range of repair and enhancement. As a bonus, our general dental care helps keep your mouth looking and feeling great!
Nutritious foods that benefit your overall health also help you maintain healthy teeth. Adding fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and calcium-rich foods like cheese into your diet is a good start. Certain fruits and vegetables, with their high water and fiber content, function as a natural toothbrush and remove plaque from your teeth. Nuts make an excellent snack option as they contain minerals that strengthen tooth enamel, making it less vulnerable to cavities.
We may recommend dental X-rays to ensure comprehensive oral care. With advancements in technology, digital X-rays are now widely used, offering enhanced safety. They use significantly less radiation compared to traditional X-rays, making them a safer option. Digital X-rays provide detailed images for accurate diagnoses, helping us identify potential issues early on.
