Periodontal Therapy in Shoreline, WA

Most people believe that brushing plus flossing is the perfect equation for healthy gums. The hidden truth is that even with the best brushing technique, sometimes plaque accumulates in areas a toothbrush cannot reach or even below the gum line. Professional cleanings and regular dental examinations are necessary to help detect early problems and maintain a lifetime of good oral hygiene. Contact Bright 32 Family Dentistry to discuss periodontal therapy and protection of your gum health.

Gum Disease is Linked to Tooth Loss

Dentist Shoreline

Did you know that gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss? This is because when periodontal issues arise, it causes inflammation around your teeth and gums that can eventually cause the breakdown of surrounding structures like bone and tissue. 

There are two common periodontal issues, gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is linked to poor oral hygiene and often is associated with red, bleeding gums and bad breath. Fortunately, it is reversible with a professional cleaning and good home care. If left untreated, gingivitis can advance to periodontal disease, which is accompanied with loose or missing teeth and gum recession. 

While periodontal disease is not reversible, it can be maintained with the most comfortable and gentle periodontal therapy at Bright 32 Family Dentistry. Dr. Brenner and team are dedicated to helping you steer your gum care in the right direction.
