Fayz Bita, DDS MS

Dr. Fayz is a periodontist. I went to her for a consultation on recommendation by a friend who is one of her patients. I had had a rather traumatic cleaning at my previous dentist and the hygienist had told me that my gums were in terrible shape and that I was destined to have systemic problems as there was nothing that I could do to improve them. I decided that this was not what I wanted from a health care professional. I want information and guidance on how to be as healthy as I can be! This is exactly what Dr. Fayz provided. During my consultation, she showed me how to floss properly (something my old dentist and his hygienists had never done) and after taking a full periodontal chart, assured me that I had localized problems around old crowns (something I suspected anyway) with no indication that I had ‘bad gums’ that would lead to systemic disease. As she does not do general dentistry, I have found another dentist, but I will be forever grateful to Dr. Fayz for showing me how to floss properly and for spending so much time with me explaining how to have the best oral health possible.
By the way, her teachings have worked. I had a cleaning four months after my consultation, and the supposed ‘horrible gums’ had disappeared. Turns out I just needed some instruction on how to take care of my teeth and gums properly. Great!
