Periodontal (Gum) Disease is a silent disease of the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums, bone and periodontal ligaments. It is linked to many others diseases like coronary artery disease, diabetes and a weakened immune system. Gum disease often develops due to the accumulation of plaque around the teeth.
Dr. Vance and his team of professionals are skilled in conservative periodontal treatment methods, which include root planing and scaling to smooth roots and remove any accumulated plaque beneath the gumline. With proper brushing and flossing and effective periodontal treatment, your smile will remain bright for years to come.
