Advanced gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is the most common cause of tooth loss in adults. Fortunately, you can help prevent gum-related tooth loss by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing daily. Tooth loss can also result from severe decay, which is best prevented through excellent oral hygiene.
It’s crucial to schedule biannual exams and cleanings with Dr. Brace so we can ensure your teeth and gums are in excellent condition. During these visits, we’ll also notify you of any concerns so we can perform the necessary treatments before they require more invasive procedures.
