Family & Cosmetic Dentistry

Bristles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is first and foremost a family dental practice.  Dr. Shirley Parikh has treated children for the last 15 years.  We pride ourselves on being able to treat the whole family in one office and many times at the same appointment time.

As recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, we recommend children  to visit their dentist before their 1st birthday.  The importance of finding a dental home before their first birthday is to prevent decay on their primary teeth.  By the age of 3, children will have all 20 primary (baby) teeth.  Habits like thumb-sucking, pacifiers, and sleeping with a bottle will all affect their growth and development and therefore the importance of visiting the dentist before their teeth develop.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children to be screened by age 3 for Obstructive Sleep Apnea and dentists are primary screeners. If your child is snoring or mouth breathing, I would recommend to have them evaluated.

Our little patients have their very own waiting room with kids books, working table and tv.

Welcome to our Ozone Therapy Dentistry Service, where innovation meets oral care for a healthier smile. Ozone therapy is a cutting-edge technique that harnesses the power of ozone gas to provide comprehensive and minimally invasive treatments for various dental conditions. With its natural healing properties and proven efficacy, ozone therapy is revolutionizing the way we approach oral health.

Our Ozone Therapy Services:

1. Cavity Treatment: Ozone therapy offers a non-surgical and painless approach to treating cavities. By delivering ozone gas to the affected area, we can halt the progression of early cavities, remineralize tooth enamel, and restore tooth strength naturally.
2. Gum Disease Management: Ozone therapy is effective in managing gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Ozone gas can target and eliminate harmful bacteria within the gum pockets, promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation.
3. Root Canal Disinfection: When performing root canal treatments, ozone therapy acts as a powerful disinfectant. It effectively sterilizes the root canal system, eliminating bacteria that could cause reinfection, and enhances the success rate of the procedure.
4. Tooth Sensitivity Relief: Ozone therapy can provide relief for sensitive teeth by desensitizing nerve endings and promoting enamel remineralization, leading to reduced discomfort and enhanced tooth protection.
5. Oral Lesion Treatment: Ozone gas has antiseptic and healing properties that make it effective in treating oral lesions, such as canker sores and cold sores. It aids in reducing pain, accelerating healing, and preventing infection.
6. Halitosis (Bad Breath) Treatment: Ozone therapy can neutralize the bacteria responsible for causing bad breath, providing a fresh and confident oral environment.

Benefits of Ozone Therapy:

• Minimally Invasive: Ozone therapy eliminates the need for invasive procedures in many cases, reducing discomfort and promoting faster recovery.
• Natural Healing: Ozone is a natural compound that supports the body’s own healing mechanisms, enhancing the overall healing process.
• Bacteria Elimination: Ozone gas effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi, making it a potent tool in preventing and treating oral infections.
• Preservation of Healthy Tissue: Unlike traditional treatments that might damage healthy tissue, ozone therapy targets only harmful pathogens, preserving your oral health.
• Reduced Need for Chemicals: Ozone therapy reduces the reliance on chemical disinfectants, promoting eco-friendly and sustainable dental care.
