Gum Disease Therapy
Many patients are surprised to learn that they have periodontal (gum) disease. This common bacterial infection invades healthy gum tissue and, left untreated, can result in tooth, gum, and bone loss. Gum disease isn't painful in the early stages. That's why it often goes unnoticed until it has progressed. As the leading cause of tooth loss, gum disease has been linked to stroke, heart attack, diabetes complications, osteoporosis, and other overall health risks.
Fortunately, periodontal disease can be treated and the discomfort alleviated. Six-month checkups and cleanings are essential for Dr. Ross and our team identify gum disease, then we can implement appropriate therapy. If you have periodontal disease, Dr. Ross will provide gentle, effective treatment to help you maintain oral and overall health.
