Gum and Periodontal Services

Gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults. Current research indicates there are even more reasons to keep your teeth and mouth healthy. We now know that there is a direct relationship between gum disease and other diseases of the body such as heart disease, stroke, lung disease and diabetes. Fortunately gum disease is treatable and preventable.

Wisdom teeth

Wisdom teeth that remain in the mouth are frequently either too far back or they are only partially erupted so that there is no effective way for a patient to clean the wisdom teeth. The number one job of your dentist is to ensure that all your teeth are completely cleansable. We often recommend removal of wisdom teeth by an oral surgeon.
