Many people feel embarrassed when they begin to have trouble with their teeth, but you can rest assured that we understand dental imperfections and that our team is ready to help you have healthy teeth and love your smile again!
Periodontitis is an advanced version of gum disease. Even though it typically starts out as gingivitis, if your gums are not properly treated, they become further and further infected and the condition becomes more serious.
Gums provide stability for teeth and their roots. If they become infected, teeth often suffer as a result. Don’t let anything keep you from getting help right away! Call our office today to schedule a consultation.
Prevention is Key
At Platinum Dental Care we believe that whenever possible, it is best to prevent gum disease. We know that this isn’t always an option which is why we provide treatment as needed.
The best way to prevent periodontitis is to maintain excellent dental hygiene. This includes things like brushing and flossing twice a day, getting your teeth cleaned every six months, and using mouthwash to kill harmful bacteria.
You take care of the day to day and we’ll help you with your check-ups!
