Our web site is growing all the time, and chock full of useful information about our practice, oral health care, and the relationship between and general health.  But we can't possibly cover everything here. 

You are welcome to contact us for further information.  Please understand we can only answer questions written as being of a general nature.

Professional ethics and laws regulating dental practice prohibit us from answering specific questions about an individual's personal health problems or condition over the internet.  Answering questions of this nature without a comprehensive examination of your mouth and a thorough evaluation of your condition would be not be in the best interests of any dental patient.

Therefore, if you have specific questions about your personal problems or condition, you should consult with a well qualified dentist, or you may explore the option of becoming a patient in our practice by telephoning our office (the number is listed at the bottom of this web page).  We are happy to respond to general questions by email to provide health information of a general nature.

Examples of specific questions about an individual's health or condition that we can not answer over the internet:

My upper left molar has a cracked filling, and pieces or the tooth are broken away.  Do I need a crown?  

I had two front teeth which had root canal treatments last year.  I still have pain and swelling.  A dentist told me the teeth are infected and need to have the root canal treatments redone.  What should I do?

Examples of  general questions that we can answer over the internet:

Is a cap or crown the only treatment solution when a filling cracks or a pieces of tooth break?

Is root canal treatment always successful in resolving an infection?
