In today’s blog, we’re looking at three of these treatment options.

The Dangers of Periodontal Disease
What do you know about periodontal disease? A common disease that impacts millions, especially those ages 30 and older, gum disease could lead to uncomfortable symptoms and even the risk of adult tooth loss. In today’s blog, your San Diego, CA, periodontist talks about the risks of the disease, as well as preventive options and our treatments.
Ensuring Our Patients’ Comfort With Sedation
Your gums keep your teeth in place and they frame your smile. Which is why poor gum health and disease requires treatment, as otherwise you could suffer from tooth loss. To ensure your treatments are comfortable, your Encinitas, CA, periodontal practice discusses our approach to dental sedation.
Linking Tooth Loss And Periodontal Disease
How often are tooth loss and gum disease linked together? Poor periodontal health is actually the leading reason why adults lose teeth. As damage from an infection worsens, tissue destruction leaves them without the support they need to maintain their complete smile, and so teeth are either extracted by necessity or lost on their own. Recognizing this link can help you understand the importance of properly managing problems with poor gum health. If you have struggled to prevent infections or currently have active problems with periodontal disease, our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice can help you. Whether you have already experienced tooth loss or hope to avoid it, we can work with you to help you preserve your well-being and appearance. (more…)
