In most cases, the cause of bad breath can be simple. However, if the issue is persistent, it can be a symptom of something more serious, and a problem sign of something to avoid long term.
The signs of aging show up on our teeth and gums just like they do on our bodies. We pay specific attention to the needs of our seniors. Gum disease and root decay are serious conditions that we check for. Early treatment is important to save teeth and maintain good health. 
When we use the Piezo Scaler™, we hear comments from our patients that their teeth have never felt so clean! This high-tech hand tool uses the vibrations of high frequencies to remove deposits on teeth and under the gumline much faster and easier. This is true even in deep pockets in the case of gum disease treatment. The scaler does its job so efficiently, there is little discomfort.
Everyone wants a smile that is dazzling and attractive. And having your teeth their whitest will achieve that. We offer a professionally supervised bleaching process. Dr. Shearer makes custom whitening trays and then you proceed with the treatment at home. You use the supplies we provide and follow the instructions to whiten your teeth. Results are achieved within 1 – 14 days.
Those suffering from dysphagia, or trouble swallowing, can reduce their risk of chest infection or other serious issues by maintaining good oral health by keeping their mouth clean. Other medical issues include neuromuscular conditions, stroke, dementia, traumatic brain injury, gastroesophageal reflux disease, cancers of the head and neck and certain respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Aspiration pneumonia can also be caused when saliva, food or liquid goes down the trachea into the lungs, instead of the esophagus and into the stomach.
