As wonderful as my team and I are (;-)), I always feel that I have more to learn and room to improve in my service to our patients. In that spirit, this week we worked with a dental consultant in a process of continuous improvement. We carefully analyzed many of the systems we have in place that supports the care we give to our patients… we worked to organize our communication with our patients as to their personal dental plans…and we worked to improve our follow through with treatment recommendations to the benefit of our patients. Serving our patients needs is our number 1 priority, and I am excited to implement these improvements in our office!

Our patients are always asking if electic toothbrushes are worth the expense. Our answer is an unqualified “Yes!”. Our favorite brand, the Oral-B Braun, removes plaque significantly more effectively and efficiently than hand brushing. Our patients who use the Oral-B Braun have less gingivitis, tartar, and stain between dental visits. We highly recommend it for superior oral care.

Yesterday I attended my Implant Study Club continuing education program which is sponsored by Palmetto Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Dental implants are a highly successful solution to the problem of missing teeth, and preferable to the use of dentures or bridges. Now, patients don’t have to wear ill-fitting dentures or choose bridges when a tooth or teeth are missing or going to be lost. With our extensive training and experience, our office can provide a solution to missing teeth that is highly successful, very aesthetic, easy to clean and maintain… and could last a lifetime!
