We start at the foundation of smiles.

Periodontal simply means “the tissue around the teeth.” A healthy mouth begins with healthy gums.

Plaque is the most common element causing gum disease.

Unfortunately, periodontal ­related problems are often discovered after they have persisted for an extended period of time. Proper oral hygiene, daily dental care and regular dental checkups will minimize the risk of gum disease. Gum disease ranges from mild (gingivitis) to the severe (periodontitis). Treatments are available for every case of gum disease.

Common problems associated with gum disease:

  • “Long” teeth (receding gum lines expose the root portions of your teeth)
  • Discolored or deteriorating tooth structure
  • Gum depressions (holes in between the teeth in the gum tissue)
  • Infected gum line (discoloration or inflammation of the gum tissue)
  • Tooth loss or tooth movement

The effects of gum disease can be damaging to your dental health. However, through proper preventive care and oral hygiene, you can avoid problems associated with gum disease.

For those with the beginnings of gum disease or more advanced gum disease, there is a procedure called scaling and root planing.

Nothing but great things to say about this place! Dr. Adam and his assistant Kayli have made “going to the dentist” great again for me!
