If you keep up with a good oral hygiene routine, you can have fewer concerns about your teeth and gums. With that said, you should look to our dentist for help in managing your dental health even if you brush and floss regularly, as problems may form and escape your notice until there are complications that you have to manage. One of those potential complications has to do with your periodontal health. Gingivitis is the first stage of an infection that affects your gums. It can be identified and addressed through a deep cleaning, which removes bacteria from your roots. If the problem worsens, you can experience a more severe form of gum disease that requires further support. Our Bellaire, TX dentist’s office has an on-site periodontal specialist who can help you manage a serious problem with your periodontal health. We can also provide support through regular preventive care, which can stop gingivitis. (more…)
