Gum Disease Therapy
We check every new and returning patient carefully for signs of periodontal disease. Many people mistakenly believe gum disease is not a serious problem. The truth is that gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults, and it has been linked to more serious health threats.
The latest research tells us that not only are people with gum disease more prone to cavities; they are also more likely to lose the bone in their jaw and then their teeth. Numerous studies have also shown that people with gum disease are more susceptible to heart attacks, stroke, osteoporosis, and Type 2 diabetes.
If you have gum disease, we begin with a conservative, non-invasive, non-surgical approach. Antibiotics and other medications can also help control the disease.
Sore, bleeding gums may be early signs of gum disease. If you experience these symptoms, call our Honolulu dental office for your complimentary consultation. Gum disease, if caught in its early stages, can be reversed.
