The staff at Harbour Landing Dental thought that this year, we would try something
new.
Many of you out there have a family member or friend that have lost their dental
insurance over the last 2 years, and have not visited the dentist for their semi-annual
cleanings. Dental Plaque builds up fast, and if left uncheck, will start to eat
away at precious gum tissue, and promote periodontal disease.
S Mutans are the bad bacteria that create and form plaque. They feed off of sugary
sweets such as High Fructose Corn Syrup, Fruit Juice, Candies and Soda Pop. They
eat the residue left in the mouth from these foods, and excrete a sticky flexible
cellulose substance called dental plaque. When the S Mutan level reaches high levels
in the mouth, they break away and enter the blood stream, affecting heart tissue,
especially in the large heart valve that does most of the work. When S Mutans build
up in the heart valve, that valve must work even harder than before, and has been
proven to promote stroke, and heart disease.
Dental Oral Hygiene is an important factor in getting gum tissue healthy. But keep
in mind that gum tissue is the same tissue that the heart is made from and several
other organs in the body as well. If the gum tissue gets disease, then it is most
likely that the heart and other organs will pick up the disease as well.
Year after year, people are always looking for a unique gift to give to friends
and family members. If you have a friend or family member that hasn't been to the
dentist in quite awhile, take advantage of our new special.
-
Deep Cleaning on all 4 sections of the mouth. This process uses a special ultrasonic
tool that goes deep under the gum line, to remove plaque. Plenty of nova cane is
used to num the gums, and then we work all 4 sides of the mouth, top and bottom
to remove this dangerous plaque. The goal is to remove as much plaque as possible,
so it doesn't reproduce and spread as fast the next time. The process takes about
60 to 90 minutes to complete.
-
Routine X-Rays to find hidden problems such as crowns that have a cracked tooth
underneath it, Dental cavities such as holes, tunnels, and new infected spots, And
finally worn out silver fillings that look like they have outlived their expected
life span.
-
Complete Oral Exam to check for dental cavities caused by S Mutans. And other conditions
such as tooth pain, cracked crowns, loose fillings, compacted molar fillings and
so forth, anything that was missed by the X-Rays. Also, gum pockets will be checked
for adequate levels. The patient then has the elective option to start any treatments
needed to restore their mouth back to good health again.
