Your Gums: The Foundation of Good Dental Function

Your gums protect the attachment of your teeth to your jawbone. This protective "envelope" of tissue is very fragile but, when your General Health (particular your immune system) is good it has a tremendous capacity to repair itself. The by products of the bacteria which try to live in the "pocket" below the gumline on your teeth and accumulations of tartar on your teeth are major threats to the health of your gums. There are also "bite" and developmental problems that can foster problems with your gums.

That's why we offer specific services to care for your gums. Our Gum Care Services include detailed charting, diagnostic visits, and in-office therapy. We carefully evaluate the condition of your gums and the underlying bone, so that it will be possible for you to preserve this foundation for good dental health, function and appearance for the long run

Our Gum Services include:

  • Non Surgical Removal of Excess Gum Tissue where appropriate.
  • Non Surgical Treatment for Gum Infections (Pyorrhea) where appropriate.
  • Professional  Maintenance Following Treatment for Gum Disease
  • Referral to Excellent Gum Surgeons where appropriate
  • Effective Home Care Recommendations
  • Antibiotic and Antiseptic Preventive Services

Fourth, it's about your teeth: the tools of good dental function
