In order to provide the best care possible, we utilize state of the art dental equipment. At Limerick Dental Care, we use digital radiographs. There are many benefits to digital x-rays, but the most important is safety.
Digital x-rays reduce radiation to the patient by 90%. In digital x-rays, the picture is taken and the image appears on the computer screen in about 5 seconds. Because the image is large (the size of a computer monitor), patients are better able to understand their dental health. Digital radiographs have an environmental benefit as well, because there are no developing chemicals to dispose of.
If necessary, Limerick Dental Care can provide you with gentle, non-surgical gum treatments. In order to assist us in providing this type of care, we have a microscope to review your plaque and we can determine the type of bacteria you have present around your teeth. Everyone has plaque and bacteria in their mouths, but some bacteria lead to periodontal problems. When treated early, periodontal problems can be controlled much more easily.
Another tool we have available to help treat your dental needs is an intra-oral camera. This device allows the patient to see on the computer monitor what the doctor sees. Images truly do speak louder than words and these pictures help our patients understand what is occurring in their mouths.
BELOW: In order to help patients feel more relaxed at their first visit, here are a few pictures of the inside of our office. Because Limerick Dental Care is located in an old farmhouse, the interior follows suit in its decorating touches.
