Gum Care
The hectic pace of today's adult
lifestyle often leaves little time for
the daily oral health care routine
needed to prevent cavities and
periodontal disease. This is
unfortunate since periodontal disease
is the most common cause of tooth
loss in adults. An estimated 75%
of American's reportedly have some
form of periodontal disease.
Early detection of periodontal disease reduces the risk of permanent damage to teeth and gums and can prevent more extensive and costly treatment in later years. Regular professional visits every six months or as scheduled by your dentist and dental hygienist will help you learn more about proper care for your teeth and gums. Regular professional visits are important because gingivitis, the early stage of periodontal disease, is usually painless; you may not be able to detect it on your own.
Over the past several years we have formulated a Soft Tissue Management Program which is specifically designed to assist you in maintaining your periodontal health. The goal of this program is to eliminate and control the bacteria that causes gum disease. Your dental hygienist will help you to develop effective home care techniques that can insure good oral health.
