If you have any of the symptoms of gum disease such as; swollen, bleeding, or receding gums it may be time for a periodontal checkup. Gum disease is a primary cause of adult tooth loss, so preventing and treating it is extremely vital to maintaining proper oral health. We test with OralDNA to detect bacterial infection in the gum tissue, which we then treat with ARESTIN, an anti-microbial medication. In some cases, we may recommend laser therapy.
