Services We Can Offer To Deal With Periodontal Bacteria

Harmful bacteria that infiltrate your gum line can create big problems for your oral health, your smile, and even your general health! Periodontal disease results when bacteria gather under your gums, and create a harmful infection. If nothing is done about this problem, it can make other health issues harder to manage, and it can increase your problems for your heart health. Unresolved trouble with periodontal disease can also lead to tooth loss over time, as the tissues supporting your teeth are destroyed. At our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice, we can offer different treatment options that allow you to manage an infection, and protect yourself against its destructive effects. (more…)
