Primary Mission

Are the bacteria in your mouth putting your health at risk? Research has long linked oral and overall health, making infection control our top priority.

Before treating an infection, we must diagnose it. Oral infections not only threaten teeth and gums but also trigger an immune response that, when chronic, can impact overall health. This response often causes red, swollen, and sore gums. In fact, the latest research shows that untreated periodontal disease increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease by five times.

Our hygienists screen patients using quick chairside tests. Plaque samples are examined under a high-powered microscope, and treatment is based on infection severity. If needed, we conduct bacterial cultures sent to specialized labs to determine the best antibiotic treatment.

Why is this our priority? A healthy mouth is essential before any dental procedures like implants, orthodontics, or fillings. Effective infection control ensures long-term oral and overall health.
