"The pictures we take with VELscope allow for better communication with our specialist and provides us with an added advantage to better assess our patients before referring. It is such a valuable screening tool because it allows us to see things not visible during a traditional head and neck exam which allows us to provide a more comprehensive exam and help create happier, healthier patients." - Dr. Ashley Elizondo

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and yours 🎅💙
Gum disease and tooth decay affect your overall health.
1️⃣ Floss at least once a day to help remove the plaque and food that’s beyond your toothbrush’s reach.
2️⃣ Brush your teeth twice a day and don’t forget to scrub your tongue since it can harbor bacteria.
3️⃣ Choose a toothpaste that contains fluoride and has the ADA seal of acceptance.
4️⃣ Therapeutic mouthwash can help reduce plaque, prevent or reduce gingivitis, and/or reduce the speed tartar develops.
5️⃣ Smoking is strongly associated with the onset of gum disease and since it weakens your immune system, makes it harder to fight off gum infection.
6️⃣ Your dentist can detect early gum disease symptoms and treat them before it becomes more serious, plus, professional cleanings are the only way to remove tartar.
