Diabetes and Oral Health
During the past 10 years, much research has been undertaken on the link between diabetes and periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is the sixth leading complication of diabetes. If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, you are 3 to 4 times more likely to develop periodontal disease, with a higher rate of more severe levels of bone loss and gum infection. View article

Introducing…

By squandt on February 11, 2010

We are excited for you to meet our new staff members…

Cindy Ruehs joined the team during the hectic holiday season.  She is our newest dental assistant and adds a positive, cheery, and helpful attitude to the practice.  She lives in Mukwonago with her family, which includes two daughters.  She completed her training at PDAT in Hartland.  In her spare time she enjoys reading, volleyball, and basketball. 

In August 2009, Thea Hinz joined our practice as a dental hygienist and periodontal therapist.  Thea brings 25+ years of dental experience to our practice!  Prior to receiving her degree from MATC, she worked as a dental assistant/receptionist for 15 years.  There is no job she can’t do!  She is very thorough and enjoys working with patients of all ages, creating one-on-one relationships to better help them feel comfortable and relaxed.  Away from the office, Thea enjoys spending time with her husband of 22 years and their adult son.  You  may also find her on the golf course, enjoying a motorcycle ride, or fulfilling her love of animals by caring for her 3 cats. 

We are happy to have you both! Welcome aboard!
