Cleanings & Prevention

A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.

Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet. It is continued in the dental office by the efforts of your dentist and dental hygienist to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health.

Prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments that help protect the teeth.

Prevention helps avoid serious and costly dental problems and is the key to having a healthy, confident, beautiful smile.

Testimonials

I'd like to take just a couple moments of your time to share my thoughts regarding my positive experiences with Dr. Green.

I first came to his practice prior to getting a dental implant. My implant preparations required a bone graft and other gum work. Needless to say, I was nervous and a bit apprehensive. From the very beginning, Dr. Green and his extraordinary staff put me at ease and took the time to answer all the questions I kept coming up with. I was impressed with how everything was handled; from the beginning post-op. I never felt rushed or that I wasn't important. Dr. Green clearly explained what was going to happen, the timeframes and yes, even my responsibilities. In my opinion, his dental skills are first rate. I was very pleased with the results of his work.

It goes without saying that when I needed some additional periodontal work on other teeth, I didn't hesitate to see Dr. Green. I knew he would take care of me in the same caring and professional manner as before and I was right. He and his capable staff took care of me and my problems. I would highly recommend Dr. Green. If you need periodontal work, please don't hesitate to make an appointment.

When my dentist told me that he recommended I have a gum graft and was referring me to Dr. Green, I felt a bit anxious as it sounded like a painful procedure. After meeting with Dr. Green and his professional staff I felt a lot more comfortable with the idea. The area had deep recession, but Dr. Green was confident that he could successfully repair it. I had the procedure done with very little discomfort. Dr. Green and his assistant made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I also appreciated the personal follow up call that evening to make sure everything was fine. The graft turned out great. I have since had another graft done on the other side of my mouth with the same results. I would definitely recommend Dr. Green and his staff for periodontal procedures.
