Plaque Removal with Rota-Dent

Dr. Ferrera and Associates proudly offer the Rota-Dent to their patients.They believe this to be the best way for patients to remove plaque at home, resulting in healthier gums and whiter teeth. 

Why is plaque removal important? 

Plague is a film that constantly forms on teeth and gums and contains harmful bacteria.These bacteria cause cavities and gingivitis (gum disease). In recent studies, gum disease has been related to a number of health problems. These include an almost doubled risk of  heart attack, constriction of the arteries, endocarditis, lung infection, a weakened immune system that can slow wound healing and lessen an individual’s response to the flu or hepatitis C vaccinations, higher risk of delivering premature, low weight babies, and of course, tooth loss itself. Removing plaque and bacteria can reduce the occurrence of these important, and sometimes, life threatening, conditions. Such proper cleaning also leads to a brighter smile, better chewing ability, and fresher breath.  

Why is Rota-Dent special?

Braces, crowns and bridges, implants, and between the teeth areas can now be thoroughly cleaned with ease and speed. Rota-Dent provides three different brush tips, and your dental team can help select the one that is best for you. Rota-dent is then able to clean areas that are difficult, if not impossible to clean with other regular or power assisted brushes. Rota-Dent is patented, and is also specially designed to deliver fluoride, chlorhexidine, or other treatments prescribed by your dentist.
