What
is Wellness Dentistry?Preventive Dentistry West Palm Beach FL
Let's say you become ill and decide to go to your doctor for care. And let's say that you are treated and you recover. That's just great! But what if you went to your doctor when you were NOT ill and you learned how NOT to get sick? That would be even better! That's what we call "Wellness Care." And that's just what we do in our practice. We can certainly get your teeth and gums healthy and repair any damage just like any dental office can. But we go a step further and show you how to avoid dental problems before they become problems. We start with a very thorough examination. Most of our patients say they've never had such an extensive examination of their gums or teeth. We examine your bite and how your teeth come together. We look for oral cancer, gum disease, signs of wear on the teeth, and, in short, any problem that you might encounter at a later date. We want to head off any problems and make your teeth and gums healthier so you will be spending less time in the dental chair!
A Healthy Smile, A Healthy Body
Dental Health Care West Palm Beach
We know that your oral health is not only about looking your best. It's about maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Did you know that the cause of most tooth loss is not decay? It's gum disease. And recent studies have established a link between gum disease and your overall health. The good news is that gum disease can be treated successfully, often without surgery. We want all of our patients to have outstanding oral health. Our commitment to you includes paying meticulous attention to all of your needs so you look your best and have optimum health.
We Care About Our Patients’ Safety
Infection controls and universal precautions protect clients and staff alike. Everyone benefits from rigorous infection control – you, your dentist, and the dental team. The cornerstone in a good and safe dental practice is the element of trust. You should feel free to discuss this topic with Dr. Cohen and his staff and receive a straightforward answer.
Dr. Cohen and our entire team follow procedures recommended by several federal agencies: the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). These measures include: disinfectant hand soap, gloves and face masks, chemical disinfection of countertops and equipment, sterilization of all equipment before every use, and disposable materials. We sterilize all reusable equipment, including dental hand pieces. We use an autoclave, a device that kills bacteria and viruses by steam, heat and pressure.
The best defense against disease is information. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make wise decisions about your health care. The more you know about our daily procedures and policies, the more comfortable you will feel.
