Visit Your Carlsbad Dentist Near Encinitas Regularly For Optimal Oral Health
If your gums are sensitive or you have excessive bleeding when brushing, you may be experiencing the early symptoms of gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. Early periodontal disease treatment is essential to prevent more serious complications that could greatly affect your long term oral, and overall, health. We can detect and address these issues early through using the OralDNA diagnostic system and other effective periodontal disease treatments.
What is Gum Disease?
How Can I Prevent Gum Disease?
- Brushing Regularly | More than just brushing in the morning and night, we highly encourage all patients to brush after every meal.
- Flossing | Flossing every day will help to remove any residual food particles that may have been caught between teeth or under the gum line.
- Antiseptic Rinse | Rinsing regularly with an oral mouthwash can kill lingering bacteria in your mouth as well as freshen breath.
- Regular Check-ups | Making regular office visits for check-ups and cleanings will ensure good oral health. We are happy to educate you on the most effective ways to create and maintain healthy habits.
- Periodontal Disease Treatment | Dr. Stephen Dankworth or Dr. Kimberly Corrigan-Dankworth may prescribe antibiotics to kill any bacterial source of infection, and also utilize the OralDNA diagnostic system as part of your periodontal disease treatment.
