Continuing Care and Periodontal Therapy
At C.A.R.E Dentistry, we believe that preventative dental care is a sound investment in your general health. The American Dental Association and the American Medical Association agree that oral health affects your overall health. Gingivitis and periodontal disease can complicate the health of a patient with diabetes, heart or respiratory problems and may affect the unborn child. The hygienists at C.A.R.E. Dentistry have had advanced training in the use of lasers for gingivitis and periodontal therapy as well as advanced education in administering dental anesthetics. Lasers reduce bleeding, swelling and discomfort for the patient. Dr. Pater-Ladd and our hygienists can establish a treatment regimen to restore your optimal oral health. Maintaining a healthy mouth sets the stage for successful restorative treatment.

Teeth for Today and Tomorrow
Dr. Pater-Ladd is passionate about CARE Dentistry’s prevention program for infants, toddlers and children. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children establish a dental home before 18 months of age. Dental caries is the most prevalent infectious disease of our nation’s children. Over 40% of children have tooth decay by the time they reach kindergarten. We provide a friendly atmosphere with a staff that ENJOYS treating children.

Lasers
Dr. Ladd is Proud to have Waterlase Lasers in use at C.A.R.E. Dentistry. Lasers are dentistry's most innovative approach to treatment. Lasers are used by dental hygienists to treat gum disease, cold sores and to whiten teeth! Dr. Ladd uses the laser for restorative treatment-even crowns. Lasers numb the area so we rarely have to give injections. Give us a call for no drill/no shot dentistry.
