How does gum disease affect oral health?
When gum disease takes hold and becomes severe, gums start to recede and pull away from your teeth. This makes it so your gums can no longer adequately support your teeth, eventually leading to tooth loss and bone loss in your jaw.
Treating gum disease at Jackson Family Dental
If we notice you are experiencing gum disease, we will often recommend a dental deep cleaning, which cleans your teeth under your gums to ensure that they can reattach to your teeth. After we’ve performed a deep cleaning, we often recommend that patients attend cleanings and exams more frequently, most commonly every 3 months.
If you believe that you are experiencing gum disease, give our gum disease dentist a call at (816) 429-5799. We’ll answer your questions and let you know how we can help you get your gums back to full health.
