Hygiene Our family program consists of a
professional cleaning, pictures, exam, fluoride treatments and information on
prevention of
cavities, the relief of sensitive teeth and bad breath. We also
work with the MDA on making the public aware of the “Sip All Day, Get Decay”
consequences. For children we recommend annual pictures to check for cavities,
panoramic pictures at age 6-7 for the evaluation of permanent teeth. We also
continually evaluate the need for orthodontics. If Orthodontia is needed we
recommend that an orthodontic exam be conducted as early as age 8. An
orthodontic exam can be conducted when all 4 anterior upper and lower permanent
teeth; along with all 4 first molars (if erupted) are in place.
Early
orthodontic treatment is highly recommended as it reduces the need for
extractions, jaw surgery and having to obtain space due to crowding. Early
treatment can mean superior results, which are highly stable.
We always check for the development of third molars (wisdom teeth). It is far
better if the extractions occur between the ages of 18-26 due to superior
healing. We also provide sealants to children’s’ permanent teeth to prevent
decay.
Orthodontics
Orthodontics for
Adults & Children-Did you know that we offer orthodontic treatment? Dr. Scherer

office. Orthodontic treatment straightens and aligns teeth, leading to a
beautiful smile and improved oral health. Dr. Scherer is certified to offer Invisalign which offers some patients straight teeth without braces. You too

anyone who may be interested in knowing how or if orthodontics can benefit them.
Cosmetic Dentistry (smile enhancement)

before treatment is even started. If your teeth are discolored, chipped or
crooked you can achieve a Smile Makeover in just 2 visits with “instant

you can suffer with an endless number of symptoms. We have simple and
non-surgical ways to treat this condition with the goal of quick pain relief for
the sufferer. We offer a complimentary consultation to see if a
comprehensive exam is warranted for anyone who may be interested in knowing how
this treatment can benefit them.
Root Canals One thing that Dr. Scherer has
learned over the years is that many patients are nervous about root canal
therapy. Fortunately, Endodontic Therapy usually involves little or no
discomfort. In fact, the discomfort that caused you to need root canal therapy
is the only discomfort involved; and that discomfort is relieved by the
therapy. During root canal therapy, damaged tissue from inside the tooth is
removed, eliminating whatever discomfort you may have been feeling. Modern root
canals are usually finished in a single visit and save teeth that would
otherwise need to be extracted. Even though it may be scary, you can relax.
Keep in mind you are is gentle hands; Dr. Scherer has over 25 years of
experience. His goal is to keep your natural teeth for a lifetime.
Emergency Care We place special
priority on emergency patients. A recent patient
survey revealed what irritates patients the most is when they cannot
get in to see their Dentist “for one to two weeks or more” or their dental
office is “not taking
anymore New Patients”. No one wants to wait when they are in pain or have a
dental problem! Call us, we are most happy to accommodate you.
Restorative Dentistry Restore your smile to an
attractive and functional state, Porcelain Bridges and Crowns are durable with a
natural appearance. We recommend tooth colored fillings. Partials and dentures
are also available with precision fit for enhanced stability and comfort. Dr.
Scherer is committed to providing a natural look and appearance.
