Periodontics

You know what they say – use it or lose it! If you’re not using your toothbrush and dental floss as often as you should, then you are sabotaging your smile – and you could lose it. To keep it looking great through mid-life and beyond, you have to keep it healthy and we can tell you why.

Retaining teeth is no more natural and inevitable than losing them. Tooth loss happens over time, and gum disease is the number one reason why. Our dentists encourage regular visits because….

  • At first, there are no symptoms.
  • Even in the very early stages, gum disease can cause soreness, bleeding, puffy gums and bad breath.
  • Over time gums can recede, exposing tooth roots to decay, causing bacteria and making teeth sensitive to heat and cold.
  • Eventually, the bone that supports your tooth is destroyed, leading to tooth loss and limiting your restorative options.
  • Gum disease has been linked to cardiovascular diseases like diabetes. Prevention is the key to preserving your smile.
