Laser Dentistry

An Alternative to Gum Surgery
Lasers are an amazing technology that brings very positive results to patients suffering from periodontal disease. We use an advanced laser that is safe, effective, and FDA approved. As a plus, laser treatment can actually increase bone mass in the jaw that has been lost due to chronic gum disease. The procedure is minimal and easy for patients, without pain.

Healthy gums could lead to a healthy heart

The association between gum diseases and heart disease is not a secret anymore. It has always raised a question in my mind if maintaining good oral health can help me achieve good overall health. Well, the answer is “yes.” Maintaining good oral health can save us from spending thousands of dollars on preventing heart diseases. We can say that proper brushing and flossing can help us maintain a healthy heart. According to the American Academy of Periodontolgy, people with gum diseases are twice as likely to develop coronary artery disease, one of the leading causes of heart attacks.

Atherosclerosis also known as “hardening of arterial wall” is one of the major etiological factors of heart disease. This occurs due to deposition of plaque (formed by accumulation of fat and other blood substances on the arterial wall). This can eventually clog the artery leading to complete blockage of coronary arteries precipitating into stroke.

Dental Gum Disease Treatment

Easier and Effective Periodontal Treatment 
If you wait to seek treatment and your infection is advanced, surgery will be necessary. But in milder stages, nonsurgical treatments can be used that will halt the disease, as long as better daily dental hygiene is followed. Both of these options are often covered by most dental insurance plans.

Dental Gum Health

The Reality of Missing Teeth
The number one cause of missing teeth is not decay! Most people assume that’s the reason, but gum disease is the most common culprit. Symptoms may not be present up until the point of losing your teeth. When it’s treated in the early stages, nonsurgical methods often work well. If left untreated until the infection is in the advanced stages, surgery may be the only option.


Gum Disease Has an Effect on More Than Your Teeth
Medical research has identified a link between gum infection and life-threatening conditions like stroke, heart disease, and diabetes. Dentists now consider gum disease a more serious matter than just losing your teeth. The bacteria occupying the gum tissue travel throughout the bloodstream into other vital organs, causing other potential health problems.

As the American Dental Association estimates that 80% of the American population has some level of gum disease, this problem is now considered an epidemic. The American Academy of Periodontology reports, “studies found periodontal infection may contribute to the development of heart disease, increase the risk of premature, underweight births, and pose a serious threat to people whose health is already compromised due to diabetes and respiratory diseases.”
