Choosing the Right Mouthwash

Many people use daily mouth washes. The problem is there are so many on the market these days, it can be difficult to decide which to choose.
If you are prone to decay, you should choose one with fluoride and use it daily. If you are prone to periodontal disease, you may benefit from a prescription rinse. Many rinses contain alcohol and should be avoided by children and many adults. Alcohol based rinses can make dry mouth worse , which can lead to decay.

As always, if you have any questions regarding your dental health, please call our office and one of our team member will be happy to help you!

No dental insurance? No problem!

In our current economy, many have lost their jobs and their health and dental benefits. This is not the time to ignore your health. Routine cleanings are important to detect early signs of oral cancer, and periodontal disease. It is much more cost effective to come in for a cleaning and check up than have to pay for treatment that negligence always leads to.

Call today to schedule your next visit.

Tired of all of our appointment reminders?

Some of our patients have recently complained about the numerous reminders that we use . We apologize for any incovenience. Unfortunately, it seems necessary to remind many people multiple times or they forget to show up. No shows are an unpleasant part of our day. Because we reserve just enough time to see our patients and do not overbook our schedule, a no show appointment leaves us empty handed and empty chaired.
We are grateful when our patients "preappoint" their next appointment. We will send you and email one month prior to the date of that appointment, then you will received another one week prior, and finally two days prior. If you need a friendly voice reminder, you need to do nothing else. However, if three reminders are enough for you, please simply reply to any one of the email reminders and we will not call you.
If you need to reschedule , please give us the courtesy of 48 business hours. We will charge a broken appointment fee of $45.00 per hour scheduled if you break an appointment with less than 24 hours notice.
