Periodontal Disease
Causes/ contributing factors of periodontal disease include:
-poor oral hygiene
-smoking
-genetic factors
-diabetes
-osteoporosis

-faulty dental restorations
How is periodontal disease diagnosed?
A periodontal screening should be conducted at every dental appointment. A documentation of the current status of your teeth and the surrounding structures is noted.
We carefully measure the bone support and tissue height around each tooth allowing us to identify any abnormal changes as soon as possible allowing us to intervene and stop any further changes.
Patients may notice bleeding gum tissue, bad breath or loose teeth.
