General Dentistry

We are proud to take an approach to dental care that may differ from what you have received in the past. Dr. Krizman’s education and training complement her philosophy that dental care should treat the whole person. With integrative techniques and modern technologies, we assist you and your family in managing optimal oral health

Dental Hygiene

Professional cleanings are vital to ongoing oral health. We provide gentle, routine cleanings for children and adults of all ages. When necessary, your hygiene visit may include biological periodontal therapy and probiotic therapy. To reduce periodontal pockets, our hygienist performs scaling and root planing. This deep cleaning removes bacteria from hidden areas between roots and gums and encourages reattachment of gum tissue. Deep cleaning includes cleansing with ozonated water, a step that greatly reduces bacterial count. Ozone gas is insufflated into the pockets to further aid with deep pocket healing. All patients will have a plaque sample taken and viewed under a phase contrast microscope. The evaluation of the plaque sample is a predictor and can determine if a patient has active periodontal disease or has an increased chance to develop periodontal disease.

They say the eyes are the window to the soul. We say that your mouth is the window to your health! When disease exists in the mouth, it is likely to be found elsewhere in the body as well. Periodontal disease has been identified as a risk in the development or worsening of serious conditions, including cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and certain cancers.

Dr. Krizman understands this relationship and stresses the importance of regular cleanings to maintain optimal overall health.
