Sars-Cov-2 viruses can be inactivated using certain mouthwashes. High viral loads can be detected in the oral cavity and throat of some Covid-19 patients. The use of mouthwashes that are effective against Sars-Cov-2 could thus help to reduce the viral load and possibly the risk of coronavirus transmission over the short term. This is useful, for example, prior to dental treatments.
In our office, we use a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution as a pre-rinse for 60 seconds. It not only kills the Coronavirus, but other viruses and bacteria too. This may very well be a procedure we continue after the Covid-19 pandemic is over since it would help reduce the spread of other respiratory infections like the common cold or the flu.
If you, your family or friends need dental care, we would be honored to provide you with state-of-the-art dental care in our modern dental practice. Refer someone you love to someone you trust!

A: Dental sealants are a protective coating a dentist applies to shield the teeth’s enamel layer from food debris that can get caught in the uneven surfaces of your teeth. In particular, the teeth in the back of your mouth have pits and fissures. The uneven terrain of those teeth is especially vulnerable to the development of cavities.
Because we know our patients don’t want to be forced to choose their dentist from a discount list, we are “unrestricted providers”. That means that even though we aren’t in your network, we can still see you and provide the best quality dentistry possible. We’ll inform you of our fees and help you estimate how much your insurance will reimburse you. We will still submit your insurance claim for you. We’ll offer you some great payment options. You may be paid directly by your insurance company. We’ll be happy to review your insurance plan with you.
