While seldom painful and frequently free of any obvious signs or
symptoms, periodontal disease
can progress, undetected, to the point where supporting bone is
destroyed. With 80 to 90% of all teenagers having some form of gingivitis
(inflamed gums) and 75% of adult tooth loss for people over the
age of 35 due to periodontal disease, early treatment and prevention
is essential.
While periodontal disease
is caused by plaque, a number of other factors including poorly
fitting bridges, badly aligned teeth and defective fillings contribute
to the development of this condition.
Our hygienists, Erica and Andrea have extensive training and experience
in treating and preventing periodontal disease.
Our Hygienists will clean your teeth and remove soft (plaque) and
hard (tartar, calculus, or stains) deposits from your teeth.
There are different types of dental cleanings, depending on your
periodontal status. In some cases, you may need to come back for
a series of deeper cleanings. The goal of our office is to help
you achieve and maintain a healthy mouth.
