Our philosophy

It’s really not good enough just to fix a problem. The problem will just happen again if you don’t know how it happened in the first place, and how to avoid it happening again.

Not only do we teach prevention, but we practice it too. Wherever possible, the dentistry we practice is preventive or proactive against decay, gum disease, bruxism, or any of the many issues that arise in the oral environment.

If someone has active tooth decay, we go through their diet, and teach them about how bacteria in plaque converts carbohydrates into acid, and how acid dissolves teeth. We show them which foods and drinks are worse, and so to avoid. And we show them how to clean and floss to prevent further decay.
