Gum Disease
When we examine a patient's mouth for the first time, we often discover signs of gum disease. Recent estimates indicate that three out of four adults have developed some level of gum disease. Also called periodontal disease, this condition begins when bacteria accumulates on teeth, releasing toxins that break down the bonds between your teeth and gums.
Initially, these microbes inflict painless damage, so most patients do not realize they have gum disease. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to other health issues, including osteoporosis, stroke, diabetes complications, and heart disease. It's also the leading cause of adult tooth loss in the US. We provide treatment options to stop the progression of gum disease and get your oral health back on track.
Don't wait any longer to protect your smile. Call our dental office today and make an appointment with Dr. Nouri to learn more about gum disease. We welcome patients from Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, and surrounding areas to our Mesa practice.
