Does your morning start with bleeding gums while brushing??
Do you often notice swollen, spongy gums??
Our dentocare experts will wave their magical wand and transform your "worried brushing

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease and pyorrhea, is
an inflammatory condition affecting the tissue around a tooth, and is the leading
cause of tooth loss. Gingivitis is a bacterial infection of the mouth and potential
precursor of gum disease. Once gum disease sets in, the toxins produced by the bacteria
damage the teeth's connective tissue and bone, effectively destroy them and fostering
tooth loss.
We encourage that plaque and calculus (also known as tartar) should be removed through
ultragentle professional cleaning.
A local anesthetic may be administered during these procedures.
Doctor may also administer a localized antibiotic to treat more "resistant"
bacteria house in the pockets of your gums, and possibly recommend a medicated mouthwash
to be used as a regular part of your home regimen. Since bone and gum recession
/ loss is not visible to the naked eye.
