 Family
Care
Adults, seniors, teens, children and babies all have unique and
special oral health needs. Take the family road trip to a healthy
and safe lifestyle beginning with good oral health at home.
The Dental
Hygienist
Your dental hygienist does more than "clean" your teeth.
Dental hygienists are highly qualified oral health care professionals
who are educators, researchers and consumer advocates as well as
clinicians. Your oral health matters to your dental hygienist!
Your
Child’s First Dental Visit
The first visit to a dental office will be the beginning of a lifetime
of good oral care. The child will learn that the dental office is
a safe and fun place to visit and that their teeth are very special.
An early visit will establish a good relationship with the dental
team and will help identify potential problems early. "First
visit by the first birthday" is a good rule of thumb.

Care and Accident Prevention

can be avoided. Prevention of dental or oral injuries involves some
simple common sense precautions.
Sports Mouth
Guards (Athletic Mouth Protectors)

of plastic can protect you or your child from injury to the teeth,
jaws, head, and neck if worn during contact sports or activities
with risk of falling.
Dry Mouth
(Xerostomia)
Dry mouth or cottonmouth, otherwise known as xerostomia, can have
many causes. Poorly functioning salivary ducts or glands can be
a normal condition of aging but many underlying factors can also
be associated. It can contribute to tooth decay and difficulty eating,
speaking and swallowing affecting general health and quality of
life.
