Great oral care starts at home. Daily brushing and flossing are the best ways to protect your teeth and gums long-term. By sticking to a simple routine, you can greatly reduce the risk of gingivitis and tooth decay as you age.

Gingivitis occurs when bacteria build up around the teeth and enter the gums, causing irritation, inflammation, and bleeding. To prevent it from progressing, regular hygiene visits are essential. At your appointment, our hygiene team will guide you on proper flossing techniques and home care routines to help protect against periodontal disease.

Sensitive teeth are often caused by gum recession, which exposes the underlying dentin and makes it easier for food and drinks to reach the tooth’s nerves. This can lead to discomfort or sharp pain. Fortunately, sensitivity can be managed with special toothpastes, gels, and professional dental treatments. If you struggle with sensitive teeth, talk to us - we can help.

Periodontal disease often begins quietly, with little or no symptoms. It develops when bacteria build up around the teeth and enter the gums. The early stage, called gingivitis, causes irritation, inflammation, and bleeding. Without proper treatment, the condition can progress and more noticeable symptoms may appear, including:
Persistent bad breath
Gum recession
Gum sensitivity to acidic foods
Abscesses
Tooth pain
Tooth loss
Periodontal disease is a chronic condition that requires prompt attention. With treatments such as periodontal cleanings, root planing and scaling, laser therapy, and local antibiotics, the disease can often be managed effectively. Surgery is only needed in more advanced cases.
