- Periodontal Therapy - We stress regular flossing and thorough brushing for good reason. Good daily homecare removes plaque that can invade below the gum line, cause infection, and lead to painful gum disease, the primary cause of tooth loss in American adults.
If you show signs of gum disease, such as red, swollen gums and chronic bad breath, we will act fast to treat the infection, restore optimal oral health, and protect your smile from recurrence. Through a comprehensive process of scaling away plaque buildup, cleaning exposed root surfaces, and in some cases, applying antibiotic to infected gums, we can stop gum disease and relieve the symptoms.

- Pediatric Dentistry - Dr. Byars truly enjoys treating children. This is attributed to his experience at the beginning of his dental career, working in a practice dedicated solely to the treatment of children. To support development of good oral hygiene in children, we offer safe and effective dental sealants and fluoride treatments. A dental sealant coats the surfaces of teeth with a protective barrier to keep out bacteria and elements that promote tooth decay. We apply fluoride using a variety of flavors to make the experience fun and interesting for kids. Simple fluoride treatments also improve your children's chances of warding off decay in young, vulnerable teeth.
