Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a significant concern that we address with utmost care here at our clinic. It involves the inflammation and infection of the gums, which, if not treated promptly, can lead to the deterioration of the supportive structures of the teeth.
At Optima Dental Care, we prioritize early detection and comprehensive examination, which includes checking the gums for any signs of inflammation, measuring the depth of the pockets around your teeth and possibly taking digital X-rays to assess any bone loss.
The treatment of gum disease focuses on controlling the infection and restoring the health of gums and teeth. Our approach includes the following services:
We believe prevention is just as crucial as treatment. Our dentist and team educate and encourage our patients to maintain good oral hygiene practices that include regular brushing and flossing. We also stress the importance of regular dental checkups, which allow for early detection and treatment of conditions before they develop into more serious problems.
At our practice, we are committed to guiding you through the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gum disease. Together, we can achieve and maintain a healthy smile. Remember, caring for your gums is a vital part of taking care of your overall health.
