Healthy Teeth For a LifeTime Dr. Ross’s goal is to simply help his patients retain their teeth all of their lives…in maximum comfort, function, health, and esthetics. We care about more than your teeth---we care about you and are committed to helping you make well informed decisions about your dental care that will lead to better dental and general health. Decisions based on good sense, solid science and technology, and an understanding of your dental needs are the cornerstones of this practice.
Gum Care Healthy gums are the best protection against periodontal disease that can destroy the foundation of your teeth. The best way to assure continued good periodontal health is to diligently follow the home care and oral hygiene instructions prescribed by Dr Ross and his hygienist. The bacteria normally present in your mouth can, if left undisturbed, can colonize on tooth surfaces and result in the formation of plaque (soft deposits) and calculus or tartar (hard deposits). The hygienist will eliminate the hard deposits that you cannot remove in order to prevent the bacteria from causing loss of bone and gum foundation. Dental Fear & Anxiety We provide many options to help you enjoy a comfortable dental experience. Emergencies Dr Ross takes pride in the quality of the care we provide and our accessibility is part of that commitment to quality. In the event of an emergency call 860-489-1234 and you will be properly directed. After office hours, Dr Ross covers his own emergencies from Maintaining Good Oral Health In most cases if your gums and teeth are healthy, the American Dental Association recommends 6 month check-ups and cleanings. When there are gum problems, tobacco use or compromised teeth, we will want to see you at shorter intervals following the guidelines set forth by the American Academy of Periodontology. Dr Ross will discuss with you and tailor a program uniquely designed to meet your needs.
