Conservative Gum Therapy

 
Gum disease occurs when bacteria make their way below the gum line and destroy the attachment between the gum and tooth. For adults, periodontal (gum) disease, not tooth decay, is the major cause of tooth loss. Research indicates that gum disease, affects over 50 million Americans at any age. These gums ailments may develop slowly or progress quite rapidly, and may become secondary factors for other illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, adult diabetes and other autoimmune related diseases. Treatment is done through a procedure known as scaling and root planning, which is a form of deep cleaning performed by Dr. Blass or our experienced hygienist.
