Teeth can’t do it all on their own. They need the support of some surrounding tissue, and if you have started to notice redness or swelling along your gumline, then it’s time to talk. Periodontal disease is consistently ranked as the leading cause of adult tooth loss in this country, so it’s an important discussion to have.
With Dr. Farruggia, DDS at Appletree Family Dental, you can take steps to uplift your gum health. At your next checkup, we can take detailed measurements of your periodontal tissue to see where you could use some help. Then, through powerful ultrasonic scaling and root planing, our team can remove plaque and tartar to let your gums relax a bit more.
