How often should I bring my family to your dental office?
As recommended by the American Dental Association, we encourage patients to visit our dental office two times each year. During these regular dental checkups, our doctor and team will evaluate your smile for warning signs of common oral health concerns, and help you achieve your healthiest smile and keep it for life.

Periodontal disease is also known as gum disease. The word periodontal is composed of Latin words “perio,” meaning around, and “odont,” meaning tooth, and periodontal disease is just that – diseases in the tissues around the tooth. We offer a variety of periodontal therapies to renew oral health.
