Gum disease is a SILENT disease. It affects 80% of adult population. 75% all of tooth losses are caused by gum disease. This disease is an infection of the gums and jawbones caused by the bacterial buildup underneath the gums. Please let us help you if you have the following symptoms:
- Bleeding gums
- Halitosis (bad breath)
- Dark stain around the gums that won't go away with brushing
- Teeth are loose
- Pain in your gums
Bacteria in the mouth and their chemical-by product can enter the blood stream and cause serious problems in distant parts of the body. In fact, gum disease has been linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pre-mature births, and low birth weight.
Dr. Tonnu will do a thorough and complete examination to detect gum disease, especially in its early stages. We take a proactive and comprehensive approach to providing gum therapy by providing the following services:
- Charting and Diagnostic Services
- In-office Gum Therapy - scaling and root planing
- Deep Cleaning and Irrigation - to further combat bacteria, we use an anti-bacterial agent before, during, and after this procedure
- Administration of ARESTIN, an antibiotic placed into specific infected areas of your gums to fight the infection
