Periodontal Therapy (Gum Disease) Back to Services

Current research studies indicate more than 75% of adults in America have some form of periodontal disease. This virtually painless condition is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Periodontal disease has NO CURE and because it is painless, it is called the “silent killer” of teeth. In addition, recent research has shown a direct link between periodontal disease and other medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and low birth weight pregnancies.
