We have a really, really proactive hygiene program. So, you know, we’re firm believers that, you know, you wouldn’t build a house on a shaky foundation, and the teeth is the same way. The gums and the bone need to be healthy in order for the whole mouth to be healthy. So we have a very proactive hygiene program.
We also do a well scan once a year on every patient, which is a digital scan that will kind of form a digital timeline of the teeth. So, for instance, if we have a patient who is a tooth grinder, which tooth grinding can lead to gum recession, and if that patient’s concerned about that gum recession, we can take a scan year over year, and we’re able to see…we can take those scans and overlap them from year over year, and we can see if that gum recession is progressing. It allows us to, again, keep a much finer eye on preventative care, which then allows us to do more conservative treatment, which often saves the patient a lot of money as well.
