Quality of Care

The Gentle Dental office is a great place, really, it is.

I was just over there last week.  My college roommate and I went to see Dr. Jergins for a couple of reasons: I was having some tooth sensitivity; my friend needed a cleaning and x-rays.

When we arrived, we were greeted by Tracey -- the world's best office manager.  My friend had not been to the office in a while, so she had not met Tracey, nor seen all of the physical improvements in the office.

I immediately went in to have x-rays taken with Julie, who also just happens to be the best dental hygienist in the world (I'm really not biased -- Julie was valedictorian of her graduating class!).  The great thing about x-rays at the Gentle Dentist, is that they use digital x-rays -- so no waiting for film to develop, and about 95 percent less radiation is generated as compared to standard x-rays.  They're ultra- safe, ultra-fast, and ultra-effective.

When I was finished, my friend took the chair for her cleaning and x-rays.  I, in the meantime, went into an opratory and waited for Dr. Jergins.  He examined my teeth, and compared my x-rays to my last set, and then he applied a finish to help prevent sensitivity.  He also talked to me about ways to slow the damage from my periodontal disease.

I took home two mouthwashes (special mouthwashes) to take on the periodontal disease, a toothbrush for my son, and a renewed respect for Dr. Jergins and his team.  They do things the right way, in a caring way.

By the way, a new news item post on our site, says that drinking green tea daily can slow the effects of PD.  So tea for me, for sure.  Tea for two?

Have a good day.
