Periodontal Treatments (Gum Disease)
Recent research reveals that gum disease is linked to major health problems, including stroke, heart disease, respiratory problems, osteoporosis, diabetes complications, pregnancy complications, and most recently dementia. Conservative estimates reports that up to 80% of the population unknowingly has gum disease. Regular dental check-ups are vital because gum disease can be detected and treated in its early stages before major problems arise. The type of periodontal treatment depends on the type and severity of the disease. Drs. Ferguson and Lambert and our team of hygienists will evaluate your gums and bone levels and recommend the appropriate treatment.
