Advanced Hygiene

Healthy Gums – Healthy Body

The health of your body is inextricably linked with the health of your mouth. It’s true. That’s why one of the most important aspects of your dental care is your regular hygiene visit. Regular cleanings make your smile shine! They prevent a build-up of stains, keep your gums in top shape and clear away harmful bacteria. And to complement your regular cleanings, we recommend fluoride treatments. Long considered mainly for children – for whom we recommend a fluoride at every visit – fluoride treatments have been proven tremendously beneficial for adults as well.  Fluoride stops the progress of newly formed cavities, even at the root and can be greatly reduced through these treatments. Cutting edge health can start with your mouth.

If we discover any sign of periodontal disease, we encourage immediate treatment. More and more studies are showing direct links between the bacteria that cause periodontal disease and serious health problems such as poor circulation, strokes, certain types of cancer, low birth weight babies, and most significantly, heart disease. If left untreated, it can also lead to tooth loss. But don’t worry – a variety of new technologies, such as ultrasonic scalers, make the treatment of this disease more thorough and comfortable than ever before. We can apply antibiotics directly to gums to help kill bacteria that cause the disease. In short, this disease is treatable, even at an advanced stage, to help you keep your teeth and improve your health.
