    I have been coming here for months and they wow me every time. The office in Phoenix is great! Everything is clean and up to date. They have spared no expense in ensuring you are relaxed, comforted and have the finest of everything. But even more importantly, they ALWAYS go out of their way to give you the finest care possible. The staff at the front desk welcome you as soon as you walk in the door. They are great at explaining it all to me. Thank you so much for explaining everything. You are the sweetest, most fun and helpful people I've ever met. The whole office is truly the best. They really make you feel like a part of the family and I always leave feeling incredibly amazing inside and confident knowing that my dental needs are being taken care of. Dr. Kulkarni even took the time to explain all the details to me herself! A+ rating for sure!

    Dr. Pulkrabek and his dental team do everything perfectly! If you don’t want to know the truth about your dental needs, then don’t go here. But if you want to know exactly what’s going on in your mouth and have a treatment plan in place, check them out! I’ve been a patient at Adrian Pulkrabek DDS in Glendale, AZ for years and have always received incredible service. Everyone here is so detail-oriented, which is a must when it comes to dental work. I grind my teeth, but they’ve helped me manage all the wear and tear on my teeth. I’m glad to report that I have a healthy set of gums and teeth now! (They didn’t replace them all, either.) I’ve recommended a lot of friends to this dental practice over the past few years. I will always give them the highest praise - thank you for taking care of all my dental problems so that I don’t have to worry!

    I will be going to Dr. Muscato and his staff for all my dental needs in Phoenix, AZ until the day I die, and highly recommend other people to do the same. I started coming to him for my dental needs 3 years ago after having been to a couple other dentists around town. Dr. Muscato is the greatest dentist I’ve ever been to. He listens to and respects his patients. He will gladly answer any of your questions or concerns, he’s very patient. He’s done fillings and crowns for me, and I’m very happy with his work. His staff, including the hygienists and receptionists, are great. They’re very friendly.

    I have been going to Dr. Kunthara for 3 years, and I don’t mind the extra drive from Phoenix, because that’s how great she is. She doesn’t treat you as just a patient, but rather a friend, and listens to your opinions about the health of your mouth and teeth. She still does training for herself and her staff to make sure they always have updated information, which keeps her office at the top of its game. No two visits are ever the same, as the team continues to learn and grow as dental professionals in Mesa, AZ. The service is great and everyone is very kind. Dr. Kunthara even gives her personal cell phone number for after-hours. If I ever have a dental emergency I can call her at any time. Anyone who needs a dentist or is looking for a change should come here.

    I was a little nervous when my previous dentist in Mesa sold his business, but after being Dr. Nia’s patient for a couple of years now all my fears have gone away. He is very thorough in helping you understand every dental procedure. Appointments are easy to make around my work schedule. I never have to wait once I get there, and the staff is very personal. They treat you well. It’s always easy at this place because they offer the doctors network program, which makes it much more affordable to get dental work done compared to billing and other dental insurance in Mesa, AZ, which can sometimes be a headache. I really love this dentist in Mesa, and I recommend him to everyone.

    Went in for a teeth cleaning at Copper Star Dentistry the other day. Dr. Owens listened to my concerns and was very knowledgeable. I look forward to having him as my permanent dentist in Peoria, AZ. He’s trustworthy, I don’t think she would ever try to get me to pay for services I didn’t really need, unlike other dentists I’ve been too. Best dentist in Peoria, I’ve already recommended all my friends.

    I had a little piece of dental bond break off over the weekend. I called my regular dentist repeatedly Monday morning but to no avail. Did a quick online search and found Dentistry at Greenway, so I gave them a call. The nicest office employee I've ever spoken to on the phone answered and fit me in at 11 AM the same day. The office was very clean and Dr. Gandhi came out and spoke with me before the technician started x-rays. All my options were carefully explained to me. I was really impressed with the nice job on the bond. Recommend to anyone needing dental work done in the Surprise area.

Can scaling and root planing help me reverse gum disease?

b
brush-whisperer-151

In many cases, gingivitis can be reversed with scaling and root planing (known as deep cleaning) and a strict routine of good hygiene and preventative dental care. However, if the condition progresses into periodontitis, then it might no longer be reversible, and will have to be controlled through regular periodontal maintenance.

What is scaling/root planing (Deep Cleaning)?

f
fluoride-achiever-2

Gingivitis marks the beginning of periodontal disease, and describes inflammation in the gums caused by excessive oral bacteria buildup (in the form of plaque and tartar). Because gingivitis occurs underneath the gums, routine dental cleaning won’t suffice to treat it. Scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning, involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. Then, your periodontist will smooth the roots of your teeth underneath the gums to discourage further oral bacteria buildup. As plaque and tartar accumulate on the roots, the buildup and resulting inflammation cause your gum tissues to recede slightly from your teeth. This creates deepening periodontal pockets where oral bacteria can continue to gather and multiply, worsening the infection and inflammation. Periodontal cleaning helps stop the infection by removing the films of plaque and tartar from your roots (scaling), and then smoothing their surfaces (planing) to inhibit bacterial buildup as your gums heal. In cases where gum disease has already developed, scaling and root planing should be followed by a strict schedule of checkups, cleanings, and periodontal maintenance. Your periodontist can prescribe appropriate treatment options, such as gingival grafting or pocket reduction surgery, to fortify your compromised tissues so you can recover from gum disease.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.
