Dr. Macko and her staff have been WONDERFUL

One of the best sets of professionals I have had the pleasure to deal with. They have even helped me to learn to floss daily! Dr. McCann, Dr. Macko's predecessor in the practice was my favorite Dentist. I was slightly apprehensive when Dr. McCann retired- wondering how the "new Dentist" would be...It did not take long to discover the care and wisdom she possessed in choosing someone to take over her practice as Dr. Macko and her staff have been WONDERFUL. They may get tired of hearing me tell them this story every time I see them. :)

A consistent at-home dental hygiene routine (regular brushing and flossing), when combined with biannual dental examinations and cleanings, can be a great way to prevent the build-up of the bacteria, plaque and gingivitis that lead to periodontitis.

A proper diet can also help with gum disease prevention and serve to supplement your existing dental care. We offer dental health and nutrition info and counseling that can help you make informed decisions about your diet and your dental care.
