I got so lucky when I met Dr. Lubritz. He literally saved my teeth and jaw. I found him as a result of a search I did for Perio Protect, a system of treatment offered by select periodontists that let patients help forward their treatments by treating at home. The reviews I read about Dr. Lubritz and his staff led me to make an appointment. Right away I found the office fun? and relaxed, and I found him to be kind and gentle and he and his staff have effectively saved me from surgery.
I have had gum disease for years, and at the time I found Dr. Lubritz my only option was gum scraping, and deep cleaning that was expensive and hurt like the dickens, and many times it caused infection on top of the problems I was having. Dr. Lubritz has arrested the damage I myself was doing by teaching me the correct way to floss and use a toothbrush. Odd that at my age, I was using these everyday tools incorrectly, and was furthering the damage, in my overzealous efforts to get the pain and infection to stop.
I have been to many dentists, oral surgeons and hygienists in my life and this is the first periodontist I have tried. None of my practitioners even suggested I see one. I found Dr. Lubritz just in time to save my teeth and jaw from decay and surgery.
I wish every adult in Houston would visit Dr. Lubritz for a simple checkup, as the pain and fear of dentists (periodontists) would evaporate on the first visit.
Most problems initiate in the gums, and the gums can tell the story of what is really hurting your teeth and may even indicate other health problems, if the Dr. examining you has the patience and experience to translate the indicators into an effective treatment. Every patient is different, granted, but the food we eat today, has us all in a lingering state of gum infection, that we just live with everyday.
The pain our gums cause can be the real reason our dentists cause pain in treatment. Do yourself a favor and see Dr. Lubritz and meet his staff as soon as possible, and you will feel better than you have in a long time.
All the best,
