Periodontal Disease
|
|
Periodontal diseases are infections of the gums, which gradually destroy the support of your natural teeth.
Dental plaque is the primary cause of gum disease in genetically susceptible individuals. Bacteria found in plaque produce toxins or poisons, which irritate the gums.
They may cause them to turn red, swell and bleed easily. If this irritation is prolonged, the gums separate from the teeth, causing pockets (spaces) to form.

If you have the dental appointment jitters...please relax. We will do our best to make your visit as comfortable and as informative as possible.
Please feel free to ask questions at any time regarding treatment procedures, preventive services, fees or any other aspect of dentistry that may be of concern to you.
Our goal is to preserve your teeth and their supporting structures. We hope you will join our team and make this your goal as well. If teeth have been lost, we can usually replace them with dental implants. Please note: cleanliness and instrument sterilization to protect our patients are top priorities in our office.
