Special Needs
Periodontal Disease

Did you know that 85% of Americans have some form of periodontal disease? You may be surprised to learn that gum disease has been linked to heart illness and even premature births.

Gum disease is the main reason adults lose their teeth, or suffer from inflamed, receding or bleeding gums and bad breath.

Gum disease can easily be prevented with proper home and regular professional care. We are proud to use the advanced Periodontal Screening and Recording System to evaluate the health of our patients' gums. This enables us to catch gum disease early. When caught early, treatment is simple and highly effective.

If you have questions about how to maintain your good health AND your natural teeth, feel free to ask any member of our dental team.
