The areas examined include the mouth, teeth and gums.
We will also discuss your home care techniques and recommend certain
products that will assist in your home care program.
American Dental Association studies show that 85% of all
American adults have some form of gum disease. Gum
disease can lead to bone disease. No one is immune; children, teens or adults.
Any and everybody can get gum disease. The only prevention is proper home care
techniques, use the correct products and schedule regular dental examinations and
cleanings.
