Preventive Care and Periodontal Health
For years we’ve appreciated the role of gums and bone in supporting our teeth so they can function the way they’re supposed to. Now we look at gum health through a whole new lens - it is intimately related to our cardiovascular health and by extension, our entire bodies.
Studies have shown certain types of oral bacteria play a role in vascular inflammation, which can lead to increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and Alzheimer’s/dementia. Bacterial imbalance in the mouth can also cause disturbances in gut health (it’s all the same tube after all). You can see why we take the health of your gums so seriously.
We implement customized periodontal therapy based on current conditions and risk factors, using advanced therapies including lasers, ozone, and a thoughtful blend of mechanical tools for gentle and effective plaque removal. Lastly, we prioritize working with patients to tailor their long term maintenance plan so they can achieve and sustain lasting results.
