IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT OUR OFFICE –
To create even better care, we are changing some of the things you may be accustomed to:
- Post treatment – If you are experiencing sensitivity or discomfort after a procedure, we ask that you contact our office immediately rather then believing “It will get better on its own”. We have learned that early intervention has saved countless teeth from dying.
- Perfumes & scents – Due to a percentage of our cliental that are environmentally sensitive, we ask that you refrain from wearing scented perfumes, colognes, etc.
- Exam & Cleanings – Most patients are used to a brief, superficial exam from their dentist after a cleaning (usually twice a year). At Medicine Wheel Dental we do a thorough comprehensive exam / evaluation once a year that may take 20 – 30 minutes for our revisiting clients. This service is offered individually from the cleaning unless requested / scheduled.
