Periodontal Treatment

The first goal  of your dental examination is to determine how healthy your gums are.  One of the cornerstones to maintaining a healthy, comfortable and attractive smile are healthy gums.  For many people this involves a life-time of good brushing and flossing habits with regular professional dental cleanings.  During the past several years the the connection between infected and inflammed gums, periodontal disease, and serious medical conditions such as low birth weight babies, cardiovascular disease and diabetes has become clear.  Untreated periodontal disease can have serious health consequences in addition to loosing some of your teeth.
