Why Gum Health Matters

Gum health is essential not only for your smile but also for your overall well-being. Gum disease (also called periodontal disease) is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. It’s often painless in the early stages, making regular checkups and professional cleanings critical. Gum disease has also been linked to serious health issues such as:

• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Stroke
• Respiratory problems
• Pregnancy complications

Our team provides comprehensive care to protect and maintain your gum health, including:

Routine Dental Cleanings

• Gentle yet thorough removal of plaque and tartar buildup.
• Polishing to remove surface stains and keep your smile bright.
• Personalized home care recommendations based on your unique needs.

Periodontal Screenings

• Measurement of gum pockets to detect early signs of gum disease.
• Regular monitoring to prevent disease progression.

Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

• Non-surgical treatment to remove plaque and tartar below the gumline.
• Smoothing of root surfaces to help gums reattach and heal.
