It’s true! Keeping your gums healthy can help you maintain your overall health. Many recent studies point to a link between gum disease and serious health conditions, including increased chances of stroke, diabetes and heart disease.
If you’ve been diagnosed with gum disease (by your dentist or periodontist), or you just want to keep your gums healthy, The Broward Center for Laser Peridiontics and Implants offers a full range of gum disease treatment options to help return your gums to a healthy state and sustain health with our comprehensive patient maintenance plan.
What you’ll want to know is that Periodontal Disease (gum disease) can range from minor gum inflammation to serious disease with profound damage to soft tissue and the bone that support your teeth.
Our mouths are full of bacteria. Estimates of the number of bacterial species vary between 500 and 650 different species. That may sound a little scary, but it goes to show you why good oral hygiene is so important. The way gum disease starts is that the bacteria, along with natural saliva, form plaque. Unchecked, this plaque build up could help deteriorate your gums.
We’re a short drive from Ft. Lauderdale and the surrounding areas of Broward County. However, we do have an office in Ft. Lauderdale that can be more convenient for local patients. At the Deerfield Beach office, many of our patients drive from Pompano Beach, Coral Spring, Boca Raton and the many communities in and around these area.
If you have questions for a periodontist regarding gum disease and your decision to get treatment, please contact our offices – we’d be happy to talk more with you!
