Do you brush, floss, and rinse at least two times a day? If so, then you may be well on your way to helping prevent bacterial infections that may cause other, more serious diseases – both in your mouth and perhaps other areas of the body. Generally, if your overall health is in bad shape, it is more than likely that your teeth and gums are not as healthy as they could be. Gum disease (periodontal disease) can lead to various medical issues if left untreated. Some of these include cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, diabetes, stroke, heart attack, and even adverse pregnancy outcomes.
If you have early signs of periodontal disease, it is my goal to help treat these symptoms and prevent further damage. Through advanced dental techniques and technologies, your gums and teeth can be restored to a more healthy state. It is important for patients to maintain these results by following a regular routine – daily brushing, flossing, and rinsing. In addition, patients who have alignment issues may be more susceptible to bacteria and plaque build-up. We can discuss your options with orthodontic treatments when visiting my practice.
