I happened to get a mailer from them right when I was considering trying a downtown dentist after a recent move, and I'm so glad I did. The hygienist was great, as was the dentist (Sarah), and their tech was even better than my last office (which was top notch). I highly recommend these folks!

Douglas Meisner

First and only dentists office I have ever been to, hoping to keep it that way. Staff is great. Service is excellent. So many people talk about how they hate going to the dentist, but with J & D Dental the experience is enjoyable. I tell my friends about my dentist office and they get jealous.

Raven Wolf

Teeth scraped, cleaned and polished by a terrific hygienist, periodontal check with out pain or bleeding, Dr Herbert checks my Invisaline progress and crown replacement issue and together we discuss and find a way to get them done before the end of the year - a win-win for everyone! I love the professionalism of Dr Jennifer Herbert, DDS and her amazing staff and their willingness to work with every patient's anxities and idiocinracies. Thank you for giving me back my smile.

Zach Halliwell

I've been a patient here for 20+ years and have only ever had positive experiences. The ladies at the front desk are welcoming, the dental hygienists are kind and gentle, and Dr. Herbert and her assistants are excellent. My dental hygiene habits have fluctuated over the years and during the worst of times, I was treated with the same respect and care that I'm treated with now. I cannot recommend and thank Dr. Herbert and her amazing team enough.

What are the signs of gum disease?

Gum disease often begins with subtle symptoms like red or swollen gums, bleeding during brushing or flossing, and persistent bad breath. As it progresses, you may experience gum recession, loose teeth, or increased sensitivity. Dr. Herbert recommends scheduling an appointment at the first sign of discomfort or bleeding. Early detection is crucial to prevent long-term damage and ensure effective treatment.

How do you treat gum disease without surgery?

Dr. Herbert uses non-surgical techniques to effectively treat gum disease and stop the infection. Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) are used to remove plaque and tartar buildup from beneath the gumline. Topical antibiotics and antibacterial irrigation help eliminate bacteria and support healing. With personalized care and ongoing monitoring, we can restore your gum health and prevent future issues.

How can I prevent gum disease from coming back after treatment?

Maintaining good oral hygiene is key to preventing the recurrence of gum disease. Dr. Herbert will provide personalized tips, including proper brushing techniques and daily flossing. Regular cleanings and checkups allow us to monitor your gum health and catch any early signs of reinfection. Following Dr. Herbert's advice can help you maintain healthy gums and prevent future problems.
