Oral health is dependent on diet, exercise, personal health potential, as well, as the actual care of your mouth and teeth. Many people today are concerned with how their mouth and teeth look, their smile, their breath and the health of the tissues in and around the mouth. We consider all of this when we evaluate new and continuing patients in our practice. We believe that the patient is in ultimate control of his dental health. There must be a partnership between the patient and his/her dentist and dental health care team in order to maintain the highest level of health possible for our patients.
