Gum Disease Treatment Specialist

Serving Patients in the Area

When you neglect to properly maintain your oral health for a prolonged period of time, the plaque on your teeth can harden. This hardened plaque is called tartar. Tartar can heavily impact the health of your gums, causing significant swelling, bleeding and redness. Though a primary reason for tooth loss, this disease may also be linked to more serious medical conditions such as bacterial pneumonia, diabetes, stroke and heart disease. Sadly, nearly 80% of the individuals who have gum disease do not even realize it because the condition is generally painless in the early stages. Due to the serious and sensitive nature of gum disease, we encourage our patients to schedule regular dental exams in order to prevent significant damages in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions Want to Achieve an Award-Winning Smile? Find out How!

Why Should I Schedule Regular Dentist Appointments?

Many individuals do not visit the dentist on a regular basis. Instead, they only schedule appointments when they run into dental problems such as periodontal disease. This is known as crisis treatment. While these individuals may feel they are saving money, they are actually losing money in the long run. Dental problems do not show symptoms until they have reached the more advanced stages of the disease process. Prevent serious and costly dental issues by scheduling regular dentist appointments.
What Are Signs of Gum Disease?

Failure to properly diagnose and treat a gum disease can lead to severe repercussions. If you have noticed any of the following signs, visit our dental practitioner as soon as possible: loose teeth, new spacing between teeth, red and puffy gums, bleeding around the gums, pus around the gums, persistent bad breath, halitosis, receding gum line, or tenderness around the gums.
How Can I Prevent Gum Disease?

In order to prevent gum disease, schedule regular oral exams, floss at least once a day, and always spend three minutes brushing your teeth. This period of time will rid your mouth of the bacteria that destroys the health of your teeth.. However, do not brush too hard. It only takes a small amount of pressure to remove plaque and bacteria from teeth. In addition, watch your sugar intake and brush your teeth, or rinse out your mouth, after every meal.
What Causes Gum Disease?

The human mouth is full of bacteria. These bacteria, along with mucus and other particles, form a colorless and sticky plaque on teeth. While brushing and flossing can help to get rid of plaque, once hardened, plaque forms tartar which can only be removed by a dental professional. Failure to remove plaque will cause gum disease.
