INSIDIOUS INFILTRATORS

FACT:
Periodontal (gum) disease is linked to, and may
impact,other serious health issues including type-2 diabetes.
Both of these diseases affect millions-children & seniors as well as those in the prime of life. Just as approximately half type-2 diabetes sufferers have no symptoms, in the earliest stage of periodontal (gum) disease (called gingivitis), you might not even...
realize you have it.

WATCH FOR THE SIGNS:
* red or tender gums
*bleeding when brushing or flossing (healthy gums DO NOT bleed)
*Chronic bad breath (Halitosis)
*receding gums
*loose teeth

Regular recare appointments help us monitor developing oral health conditions that have the potential to adversely affect your overall body health. If you don't know you have the disease, you can't treat it...but we can detect periodontal (gum) disease & treat it right away!
