According to the American Dental Association, 80% of adults have some form of gum disease. Gum disease is a bacterial infection in the gums and supporting bone structure. It is often a pain free disease, therefore goes undetected for years unless a specific exam is performed. Early signs of gum disease are characterized by gum tissue that is red, puffy and bleeds easily when brushing or using dental floss. Our certified hygienists have received extensive training in this area and are helping our patients become healthy once again. They are also qualified to utilize lasers in our advanced gum disease treatment. Call for an appointment to schedule your gum disease evaluation today.
