Fresh Dental

A very common question I come across with my patients is “is there a difference in floss and which one should I use?”

So I tell them..yes there is a difference in the different brands of floss in the market. There are some like “Glide” that is a bit thinner. Then there is “Cocofloss” which is a bit thicker. The type of floss to use depends on each individual’s situation. For example, sometimes I recommend a thicker type of floss like “cocofloss” for someone that has more than normal spacing in between their teeth. A thinner floss can sometimes “slide by” the bigger pieces of plaque if the space is too big. Bottomline is, dentistry should be personalized for the best care, even when it comes down to the “at home” tools being used and thankfully there are many different types of floss out there.

Extremely thankful for these 4...they have stuck with me through all the chaos and noise and I couldn’t be more appreciative for them ❤️

during the pandemic, we had a chance to fine tune our systems and even implement new systems. One of those new systems is the ability to completely go paperless. We have had positive feedback from our patients and it also is more efficient on our end. Once a patient steps into our office, a quick temperature check is performed and they are immediately ready to go to their treatment room. Finally, the ability to go paperless gives us the opportunity to enhance our environment conditions

***Gum Disease Therapy***
This was a successful case done by our very talented hygenist, Nira.
On the first picture there js heavy calculus (hardened form of bacterial plaque) clinging on to the sides of the teeth. This particular patient was losing bone due to the calculus and reported bleeding and swollen gums randomly and while brushing or flossing. By the use of ultrasonic instrumentation, hand scalers, and irrigation, she was able to remove all of the calculus. The second picture is the xray taken after the procedure to confirm removal of all the calculus in between teeth. Our patient now reports a much healthier oral cavity and well being.
