Services we offer
to dental patients
My office has been very active in taking courses and implementing modern improvements in the care we offer on these subjects. We offer a number of services different from the usual periodontal specialty practices; this may be of use to you and your staffs. These include:
| · |
Halitosis diagnosis and treatment
|
| · |
Diagnosis and dental treatment of Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
|
| · |
Genetic testing for gum disease potential in children as well as adults as a preventative measure. Of particular interest for children of periodontal patients.
|
| · |
Enzyme testing for gum disease of the soft tissue and bone
|
| · |
Medical treatment to reduce future gum damage
|
| · |
Periodontal medicine risk factors for patients who may not wish to go ahead with dental treatment
|
| · |
Bruxism and headache management for patients on various new medications.
|
| · |
Implant consultations at no charge to determine if patients are implant candidates.

We feel patients should be informed of the recent information indicating that heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, low birth weight babies, lung abscesses, and other serious medical conditions are made much worse by lack of dental health. Diabetes control effected by mouth infection is now firmly documented.
Please take advantage of the services offered to keep patients informed and abreast of the treatment options that are available to them. If you have any questions I have a wealth of information that I would be happy to share with you and your staff. Many of these subjects I have done research on and incorporated the information in lectures to the staff at Deborah Hospital, the Hygiene Association, and the Dental Assisting Association.
