I’ve been a loyal patient at this dental practice since the ’80s, and my recent annual cleaning reaffirmed why. Cindy, the dental hygienist, provided exceptional care. Her gentle touch and genuine concern for my comfort made the cleaning a breeze. I’ve always received top-notch service here, and Cindy’s expertise is a shining example of their commitment to patient satisfaction. Highly recommend this practice for their outstanding staff and long-standing dedication to dental health.

In honor of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, we wanted to bring to light the connection between gum disease and Alzheimer’s. In fact, studies have recently discovered that the bacteria that cause gingivitis, a more advanced form of gum disease, was found inside of the brain of 90% of Alzheimer’s patient samples.
We’re sharing a video released by CBS News that reviews their findings. What this shows is how important it is to prioritize your oral health at every stage in your life. If you do show signs of gum infection, we can treat it with our deep cleaning procedure.
