Establishing a relationship with a dental hygienist should be much more than polishing your teeth and telling you to floss more. Each time you visit our hygienist Audrey, you should know the state of health of your gums, the source of any problems and have choices of how to solve them.

If tooth decay is progressing, she'll help find the cause and make specific recommendations to stop the decay process. And bacterial plaque is not the only cause of gum disease and tooth decay. Faulty restorations, a bad bite, and stress can all contribute to periodontal bone loss. Further, she'll recommend appliances and medicines to make it easier to improve your gums and overall health.

You can contact our hygienist at audrey@jamesreznichdds.com with your questions.
