Gum Disease...Can Be Helped At Burbank Dental Care
The
American Dental Association says that over 75-80% of all adults, even in
the Burbank, Glendale and Studio City area, have or will have some form
of gum disease.
Gum disease, or more correctly called "periodontal disease", is a bacterial infection in the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It can be divided into several categories.
The first stage is called "gingivitis" and is characterized by gum tissue that is red, puffy, and bleeds easily when touched with a toothbrush, floss or dental instrument.
The second, third, and fourth stages are initial, moderate, and
advanced "periodontal disease", respectively. These stages are
different from gingivitis because the infection has destroyed and
dissolved the bone supporting the teeth, causing eventual tooth loss.
At Burbank Dental Care the treatment is more involved at these stages,
usually consisting of a special cleaning with anesthesia and sometimes
gum surgery.
Please call us at (818) 955-7788 to see if you qualify for one of our
"Soft Tissue Management" programs in order to avoid gum surgery.
