Your teeth are not the only important part of your mouth. Your gums are essential to your oral health and your overall health.
Periodontal disease has concequences that reach beyond bleeding gums, tooth loss and bad breath. There is extensive scientific evidence that periodontal disease has whole-body implications. Periodontal disease has a direct impact on inflammatory responses in your body that have been linked to heart disease, strokes, diabetes and autoimmune diseases. There is also a direct link to gum disease and premature babies and low baby birth weight.
We provide dental cleanings and examinations that ensure periodontal well being. Sometimes, gum treatment is needed beyond a normal cleaning to restore your gums to health. These procedures may include deep scaling(a more thorough dental cleaning designed to remove debris below the gum tissue), more frequent hygiene appointments, sometimes the use of antibiotic that are syringed between the tooth and gum in the infected area to ensure that and infection is treated. Often, painless laser therapy is needed to treat and eliminate recurrent or severe periodontal disease.Specific protocols are created for a patients specific needs. At times, we may refer you to a specialist for more specialized surgical procedures, if deemed necessary, for your periodontal health. Please let us know if you have any questions.
