Quality service begins with the first call a patient makes.
For dental care, quality service is more than just restoring a tooth carefully or achieving a beautiful cosmetic effect. Quality service begins with the first call a patient makes. Every attempt will be made to find a time that fits both the patient and the doctor’s schedules and make sure that the patient is informed exactly what procedure is being done. Emergencies are always seen within 24 hours of your call. A live voice answering service is maintained during non-business hours for this purpose.
It is the policy of this office to run on time. When a patient enters the office, they are greeted and made to feel at home in the reception area. Time spent there is brief. A thorough, professional exam is performed using an extensive checklist and the most current diagnostic equipment to be sure that everything is healthy. If it is not, Dr. Jacobson explains how it can be made better. He listens carefully to the patient’s concerns and needs and answers every question. It is not enough to meet the patient’s needs for only one visit. It is a continuing process to meet the needs of patients at every visit.

Cleaning and Prevention
Dentistry is founded on the principle of prevention. All patients are recommended biannual cleanings and examinations. Not only do they help you quash dental problems before they arise, they leave your gums healthier, and your teeth cleaner and whiter. A professional cleaning removes hard plaque that cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone. It also involves a fluoride treatment and polish to help protect and soothe your teeth and gums. Even if you haven’t had a cleaning in over two years, it’s never too late to treat your teeth.
What are some preventative measures I can take?
Brush with a fluoride toothpaste
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush after each meal
Floss daily before bedtime
Use an oral rinse after flossing
Avoid sugary foods, coffee, and tobacco
