Dental Hygiene/Periodontal Health

In addition to the meticulous cleaning, polishing, and examination of
your teeth, we also take the time to help our patients develop proper
oral hygiene habits at home.  We will evaluate your hygiene techniques
and make adjustments to your routine where needed.  Dr. Wellenreiter
and his hygienists will also make suggestions for preventative
measures such as dental sealants or nightguards to protect against
bruxism & TMJ disorders.

If we feel that you are suffering from gingivitis or more severe gum
disease, we may recommend a root scaling or planing.  These measures
can be instrumental in preventing bone loss and helping you to keep
your natural teeth.
