Getting Rid of Gum Disease
Periodontal disease also referred to as gum disease, is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults and affects 65 million Americans. It’s caused by bacteria found in plaque deposits that live on your teeth. Periodontal infections have been linked to diseases that occur elsewhere in the body such as diabetes, heart disease, strokes, and premature birth. Swollen, red gums that bleed easily or gum tissues that are receding away from your teeth are all telltale signs of gum disease. We offer advanced, powerful methods of treatment that help restore health to your gums and your teeth.
