Adults over 35 lose more teeth to gum diseases, (periodontal disease) than from cavities. Three out of four adults are affected at some time in their life. Numerous recently published studies show a high correlation between active periodontal disease and heart disease. The best way to prevent cavities and periodontal disease is by good brushing and flossing techniques, performed daily. Our highly trained staff of dental hygienists will help keep your mouth healthy and will teach you all the proper techniques to keep your mouth healthy at home.nnPeriodontal disease and decay are both caused by bacterial plaque. Plaque is a colorless film, which sticks to your teeth at the gumline. Plaque constantly forms on your teeth. By thorough daily brushing and flossing you can remove these germs and help prevent periodontal disease.
