I have been going to Briarwood Family Dentistry for years now. They have always treated me well. I have sensitive teeth issues and Nikki, my hygienist, always remembers and is very careful when cleaning those areas! Dr. Hanna is always cheerful and professional. I would recommend this office for all your dental needs.

Dr. Hanna has a very a calm and reassuring presence, and I really appreciated that she didn’t seem rushed during her exam; I felt she genuinely cared about how I was doing. The reception and billing staff were also very friendly and helpful. I came to Briarwood Valley Dentistry on a recommendation from a friend and I was not disappointed! I will be recommending them to others.

Gum disease can be treated in a variety of ways, but the most conservative method is with a deep cleaning known as scaling and root planing. This is where your dentist or hygienist removes infection caused by bacterial plaque below and around your gumline and then smooths out your tooth roots so bacteria doesn’t return.
Your gum disease treatment should be completely comfortable. We’ll numb your gums so you don’t feel any discomfort or pain during your treatment. In addition, if you’re nervous about your procedure, you can also receive inhaled sedation using laughing gas or oral sedation via a small pill.
You may not see the signs of gum disease on your own until its advanced stages, which is why it is often referred to as a silent killer. It’s also why your routine dental exams are so important. The earlier you spot periodontal infection, the easier it is to manage and, in many cases, reverse. Common symptoms to look for include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums, loose teeth, and persistent bad breath.
