"One day I educated a patient on smoking and the negative impact smoking has on a person’s teeth and gums. Three months later he stopped smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day and had huge improvements in his overall health, teeth and gums. Also great improvement on his appearance (stains)."
"I would educate you on what treatment you need and why. Your homecare, routine and compliance will determine the percentage of your overall oral health improvement. Basically you, my patient, and me, the hygienist, working together as a team will result in the best oral health possible."
