We Are Innovative

We have a lot of high-tech stuff in our practice. CAD-CAM crown systems, intraoral cameras, photosensitive cavity detection, lasers, and more. But every now and then we introduce something that just makes life easier without digital equipment or technological fuss.

Jeremy Legg, one of our registered dental hygienists, came up with an innovative answer to some basic hygiene instruments that patients need to reduce their risk for disease. He engineered a soft dental pick to insert into a brush handle. We needed a name, so I dubbed it the PerioSoft.



Several research studies have concluded that an inter-dental pick or instrument is as effective or more effective at removing oral plaque and bio-film as compared to dental floss. The shape of the soft picks is convex. which means that they can clean concave root surfaces of teeth more effectively. They are available from us or any drugstore.
