When you think about your smile, what is the first thing that you envision? For most people, the focus is primarily on their teeth, but it is important to remember the pivotal role that your periodontal tissue plays in supporting your oral health. Your gums do a lot of the heavy lifting for your smile, and taking the time to care for them can make a big difference in your ability to keep yourself safe. Gum disease is routinely identified as the leading cause of tooth loss, so take your whole mouth’s health seriously.
With Dr. Kania, DDS, DMSc at Saxony Dental Arts Center in Encinitas, CA, you have the opportunity to renew your gumline with holistic periodontal treatment designed to help you keep an eye on both your health and your appearance. Maintaining close control over your oral hygiene is a big part of avoiding periodontal disease, and it is also an effective way to treat it once it has arrived. If you have started to notice that your gumline has shifted, talk to our team about your options to reclaim your gum health. Bleeding while brushing is a sign of bacterial infection, so don’t let it go on any longer!
