Gum (Periodontal) Disease
Are you at risk???
Do you have family (mom, dad, brother or sister) that had dentures at any early age?
Do your gums seem puffy and a little red?
Do you sometimes feel that your breath is bad even after you brush your teeth?
Did you know that developing heart disease, kidney failure, and stroke in your future depends on how healthy your gums are?
It is true! Bleeding gums, bad breath, gaps between teeth, loose teeth; these are just a few of the warning signs that tell us if a patient has Periodontal Disease. The high levels of bacteria in the mouth get under the gum tissue and eat away the bone that holds our teeth. Smoking, genetics, and age are all risk factors. Nowadays patients are relieved when they find out about our non-surgical method for taking care of teeth and gums. Many patients have found these new non-surgical treatments so easy that we hear all the time, "If I would have known it would be this simple (to get control of periodontal disease) I would have been in to see you much sooner". Many patients finish their therapy in just 2 visits to our office. For the sake of your future health, please call for an appointment with Lori or Janel. During your first visit we can do a very simple, non-invasive test to see if you are at risk.
