Your entire body benefits from maintaining good oral health. When you eat the right foods, regularly brush and floss, and visit the dentist for checkups, you keep harmful bacteria out of your mouth and, as a result, out of your body.

Let me start by saying I don't have the best brushing habits so you can imagine how I feel when it's time for the regular dental cleaning. I'm usually preparing for the typical lecture about how important it is for me to do better and how I'm not only ruining my teeth but also making other health conditions worse and possibly a little lesson on how to properly brush. This was my first dental cleaning at SkyView and I was so pleased with the experience. Ann the hygienist started out by introducing herself, making sure I was comfortable, and then carefully explaining the process to me. She started out by doing the numbers game (you know, where they call out numbers from 1 to 4 and the lower the number the better). Sadly my numbers were off the scale and after her assessment she explained to me what a typical cleaning would entail after this step followed by letting me know that "we're not there". I have to say I figured now is where the lectures and lessons come in but Ann did a great job of giving me the unfortunate facts without being condescending or judgemental. She gave me advice on best brushing habits instead of a lecture. She presented my options and was happy to work with my timeline getting a deep clean scheduled and even took the rest of the appointment doing a preliminary cleaning to get me by until I could get in for the deep clean. She was willing to accommodate my schedule and gave me confidence that I could finally get better at brushing and that it wasn't too late for my teeth. At the second appointment again she carefully explained what she was going to do every step of the way, assured I was comfortable (even asked if I would like a blanket) and talked me through the entire process including asking me along the way how I was doing. She also made sure to let me know that she noticed my brushing habits had improved and to keep it up. Ann was so attentive and so kind during such an intense process that I made sure to reschedule with her for the next cleaning checkup. I expect they'll be less intense in the future. I haven't been disappointed in this place since I started going there last year. I don't tend to stay places I'm not happy with. Not just this experience but every visit from crowns , fillings, and even a root canal has been a much better experience than any other place I've been. I particularly like that I can get those crowns done in one trip - no more living with a temp crown until I can get back for the permanent one. I can say with confidence that I plan on keeping SkyView as my dental office for the foreseeable future.
