I have been going to Dr. Steen and seeing Pam (Hygienist) for 5+ years. When we first moved here I tried a couple of other places but haven't strayed from their compassionate practice since. They are the only practice that has been able to get my problems under control with more advanced personalized treatments that are easy for me to do. Dr. Steen is gentle and not at all pushy in helping define a treatment plan that works for you.
I suffered with periodontal disease and gum problems that were not being resolved with regular cleanings, better brushing and flossing habits and the dreaded scrapping under the gums. When Pam recommended a minimally invasive treatment called perio protect I wasn't sure it would work but after 1 month of using them I am dedicated to this program. It is now 2 years and as long as I use them 2 - 3 times a day for 10 minutes my gums stay healthy !
The trays are filled with gel that tastes like peppermint. This treatment reduces the bacterial and the best part is your teeth get whiter! I have very sensitive teeth and this doesn't bother me at all as long as I use sensitive toothpaste I'm fine. I have gone from 2,3,4 and 5 and at times a 6 to 2,3 and only a couple of 4's in 1 month. If you keep it up you will have consistent results and it is only 10 minutes a few times a day. When I'm using it regularly I have only 2 and 3's which is better than anything I have had in decades.
