There are several qualities that set Theresa Deaton apart :

1. Her knowledge and grasp of today’s periodontal identification and therapy
2. Her 36 years of clinical experience.
3. Her expertise in current CDT coding and guidelines
4. Her sincere interest for optimal patient care
5. Her extraordinary skill as a teacher and motivator.

I have taught beside Theresa for 20 years and continue to marvel at her communication skills and the ability to take a complicated subject, break it down, and teach it to understanding .

In today’s practices, there are usually multiple hygienists that hail from different educational institutions and different levels of clinical experience, It is critical to have all providers on the same page so that periodontal disease is consistently identified, coded properly, and communicated clearly for patient understanding and acceptance. Consistency is the key.

Theresa has exactly those skills, clinical and verbal, to help a good team become a consistently great team . That is why she is the Periogenius!
