Treatment usually not completed in a timely fashion

Patients numb for the procedure

Compromised clinical results with high probability of

relapse Typical ‘prophy’ services across the country are

nothing more than “supervised neglect” Many patients are left untreated due to under

diagnosis

Oral cavity is treated as an infection Focuses on decreasing the bacterial load ASAP Cases finished in same day or within a week Newer products (Oraqix) used in place of needle
