Periodontic dentistry deals with the health of your gums. Proper oral care habits to prevent gum recession are very important and can have many dental health benefits. Patients that experience bleeding gums are showing signs of gingivitis. It is very important to floss at least once a day as apart of your dental hygiene regimen. Flossing cleans plaque bacteria from the gumline region where regular brushing cannot reach.

Allowing plaque bacteria to build can cause gingivitis and periodontitis which may lead to decreased bone levels which help to anchor your teeth.

Periodontic care procedures can help prevent gum and bone recession and the formation of periodontal pockets which can have adverse side-effects on the rest of your body.

Dental radiographs or dental x-rays enable the dentist to diagnosis decay in areas underneath the gum tissue and treat any decay issues before infections become significant.

With digital x-ray technology, the radiation dosages that patients can receive is comparable to a few light days of natural outdoor exposure to the sun.
