There's no better time than now to ensure your gums are healthy and your teeth have the support they need. If you're experiencing symptoms such as bad breath or swollen or bleeding gums, you may be dealing with gum disease.
At the office of Innovative Dental, we provide a comprehensive range of services to help patients protect and maintain their periodontal health while keeping their smiles in top shape.
The stakes are higher than you might think when it comes to periodontal health. Not only is gum disease the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, but links have been established between poor gum health and several medical issues, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, respiratory problems, and more.
Similar to tooth decay, gum disease is caused by harmful bacteria, dental plaque, and tartar that build up around the teeth and under the gums. When left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to the formation of gingival pockets, receding gums, and diminishing alveolar bone, eventually resulting in loose or lost teeth.
Of course, the best way to prevent gum disease begins with a good oral hygiene regimen at home, regular dental checkups, professional cleanings from our skilled hygienists, and guidance on the most effective oral care methods.
At the office of Innovative Dental, we are committed to providing patients with the guidance, support, and care necessary to maintain optimal periodontal health. For more information on our practice and the many services we offer, give us a call today.
