Gum Disease: A Silent Enemy

Gum disease is a prevalent oral health issue that affects millions of people worldwide. It refers to the infection and inflammation of the gum tissues, which support and hold your teeth in place. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to severe damage to the gums, bone, and teeth, ultimately causing tooth loss.

1. Diagnosis and Assessment

During your initial consultation, our team of experts will assess your oral health through comprehensive exams, including digital imaging and dental history review. This evaluation allows us to identify the severity of your gum disease and develop the most effective course of action.

2. Professional Dental Cleanings

The key to maintaining gum health is through consistent, professional dental cleanings. We perform thorough cleanings that remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent gum disease progression.
