Gums that bleed or feel tender alert you to periodontal, or gum disease. In many cases, however, symptoms are nonexistent or subtle. By attending regular checkups and hygiene appointments twice each year, you'll reduce your risk to contract gum disease.
The primary culprit for adult tooth loss in people over 35, gum disease can increase a person's risk for heart attack, diabetes, stroke, and pregnancy complications. Let us put your mind at ease with a simple, quick examination.
Our regular exams always include gum disease screening, in which we utilize a small probe to measure the pocket between the tooth and gum. That measurement and the results of a visual exam allow us to diagnose and treat this serious condition. Learn more in our patient library about how we use root planing and scaling, teamed with a powerful antibiotic, called Arestin, to target and arrest gum disease. You'll also find informative articles on how to brush and floss, as well as other important oral health topics.
