Gum Disease Treatment

Do You Need Gum Surgery?

You may have been told you need gum surgery, but with new laser technology, maybe you don’t! With laser treatment, this nonsurgical method has produced results that seem almost miraculous. It is an easy and minimal procedure that stops and helps to heal periodontal (gum) disease. It has successfully replaced the need for gum surgery in many cases. With the DEKA™ dental laser, your treatment is nearly painless. It is FDA approved and safe, as well as effective. It even helps to regenerate bone loss from chronic gum disease.

Your Mouth Is Not a Bottle Opener!

Your mother was right: Never open bottles, packages, or other containers with your teeth. You might permanently chip or crack the enamel.

Gnawing on anything else -- like pens or fingernails -- or chomping down on seeds, popcorn kernels, or ice could have the same result.

Introducing Digital X-Rays
We are a state-of-the-art office and we use the latest technology in X-rays – digital X-rays that use 75% less radiation than older film X-rays. This type of X-ray provides a panoramic view of your entire mouth in just one picture. After we place the digital sensor in your mouth, we capture an image that is available immediately on our computer screen. We can see what needs to be done with both upper and lower arches. There is no waiting time for images to develop and no polluting the environment with chemicals.

Foods That Stain Your Teeth: Tea and Your Teeth

Although tea has a reputation as a healthy beverage, it may not be the best choice when it comes to keeping your teeth white. Dentists say tea -- especially the basic black variety -- can cause more stains than coffee. However, recent studies have found that even herbal teas and white teas have the potential to erode enamel and cause tooth staining.

Advanced Dental Technology

Technology Makes You Part of the Team

It is important to us that you are involved in the decision-making process. With modern technology, you are able to take part in the decisions for what work needs to be done. Dr. Baird uses the intra-oral camera, a miniature camera that lets you view the inside of your mouth to actually see for yourself what teeth need attention.

Tooth Decay and Sensitivity

What Causes Tooth Enamel Damage?
What happens when tooth enamel is damaged? The exposed part underneath becomes vulnerable to decay. Cavities aren't the only problem.

Teeth with damaged enamel can become sensitive to extreme temperatures. Suddenly, eating ice cream or sipping hot coffee can be painful or unpleasant.

Comfortable Dental Care

Feel Comfortable with Nitrous Oxide
Commonly called “laughing gas,” it works in calming patient anxiety. Through a mask, the medication is inhaled while you breathe, to create a state of relaxation. Together with local anesthesia, you will be pain-free for most treatments.

Dental Root Canals

Saving a Tooth
A damaged or infected tooth that used to require extraction can now be saved with root canal therapy. In this procedure, the pulp chamber is removed and replaced with a special type of filling. Root canal therapy has changed over the years. What once was a daunting procedure has now become virtually painless due to advancements in techniques and anesthetics.
