"We've been working hard on developing programs that will benefit our patients, who are always our number one concern.

In our efforts to continually educate ourselves we've been studying the impact and the oral health benefits dental strength fluoride treatment has for not only children, but adults. We believe so strongly in the use of fluoride we've reduced the cost. Protecting teeth from future decay, prolonging the life of your crowns and reducing sensitivity are just some of the benefits of adult fluoride application.

Sealants aren't just for kids! They're another "tooth saver" and we've made it a "cost saver". I see many of my patient's spending several hundred dollars on fillings when a sealant could have prevented the bacteria from sticking into the grooves of back teeth causing decay. Keeping your teeth sealed against bacteria could save you from a crown in the future.

I've also developed two insurance plans for our patients who find themselves without dental insurtance. Just another way to make it easier for you and your family to avoid the high cost of dentisty. By utilizing our insurance plan you can easily afford preventive dentistry which saves money. Don't wait until it hurts, that's when it becomes expensive.

I hope everyone has met Kelly, our latest addition to our hygiene department. She is your partner in the fight against decay, periodontal disease and keeping your teeth their brightest. Ask about "Forever White" another program where you can bleach your teeth for practically nothing, just for scheduling and keeping your appointments!

Keep smiling! Looking forward to Spring.-Dr. Parise
