General dentistry
The practice of general dentistry involves the prevention, diagnoses and treatment of conditions, diseases or injuries related to the teeth, gums, jaw and mouth.
dental hygiene
Delmar Dental Medicine has three experienced registered dental hygienists who administer our extensive periodontal maintenance and diagnostic program.
In addition to dental cleanings and exams, our hygienists take x-rays and do a wide variety of periodontal procedures such as charting, root planing and deep scaling. These procedures are most effective in treating early periodontal disease.
dental sterilization
We have many different products that are designed to prevent the spread of infection. All of the latest technology is used at Delmar Dental Medicine to insure the safety of our staff, patients and the doctor.
All clinical staff regularly wear masks, gloves, gowns and protective eyewear. We utilize many disposable items to insure sterilization, such as polyethylene barriers. At the high-tech end of the spectrum are the fast autoclaves, which are heat sterilizers for our dental instruments.
